Steve,
It is easy to output a doctype from XQuery, but the technique may not be
obvious. I think the first discussion on this list was in 2004
(http://markmail.org/message/hgnbp7hxvaumzqdx): simply treat the doctype
as a string.
xquery version "1.0";
'<!DOCTYPE...>',
<HTML>....</HTML>
http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-xq-serialization-parameters tells us
that "an XQuery implementation may (but is not required to)" provide
options for serialization. At this time, we do not provide those options.

Hi Rob,
I would also really appreciate some control over output serialization in
Mark Logic.
I recently wanted to output some xhtml with a DOCTYPE, but this seems to
be impossible without using an XSLT stylesheet.
As I understand it, the serialization options should apply equally to
XQuery and XSLT... but I can't find any info about this in the Mark
Logic dev guide...

Our fastest-moving customers do it this way when they can, because they

are looking for the least disruptive way to introduce MarkLogic into
their development environments. By the time a couple of years pass,
they've figured out that the way they develop all their internal
proofs-of-concept could be the way they develop applications.) A few
folks take a bolder step, embracing the full "X" stack: XML -> XQuery
-> XHTML from the start.
Why not have an XHTML output method like XSLT 2.0 has?

best,

p.s. The X stack would greatly benefit by having XSLT 2.0 in there... :)
