Hi Bob, As a followup, it looks like this is a problem that existed in 1.78.1. Looking back at my files and email, I see that this was discussed in 2013 and was attributed to a quirk in Saxon.
The issue comes up in xhtml-1_1/docbook.xsl which has the following line: <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"/> Once set, saxon will put that DOCTYPE into everything, even if the output has a different namespace. I resolved this locally by removing the doctype-public and doctype-system attributes from this line in docbook.xsl, maketoc.xsl. and profile-docbook.xsl. I forget why this couldn't be changed in the distributed stylesheets (maybe a problem with xsltproc or another xslt processor), but if it can be changed, that would be helpful.
