There is no real way of avoiding creating internal DTD declarations for your HTML entities (I guess you could use an external DTD and thus declare them all once...). Given that they never change I long ago incorporated them into the boilerplate for my final XSLT output stylesheets and forgot about it...
Anyway, the internal DTD subset IS the convenience feature for doing what you want. Maybe it would be nice if XSLT's HTML output mode just assumed this, but it doesn't, thus the minor inconvenience.
