Exactly,
so in the serializers part of the sitemap, you can remove/comment out
the doctype lines in the declaration of the html serializer, e.g.
<map:serializers default="html">
...
<map:serializer logger="sitemap.serializer.html"
mime-type="text/html" name="html" pool-grow="4" pool-max="32"
pool-min="4" src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.HTMLSerializer">
<!--
<doctype-public>-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN</doctype-public>
<doctype-system>http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd</doctype-system>
-->
</map:serializer>
...
</map:serializers>
Then you won't get the DOCTYPE at the head of the HTML
(strictly speaking for map:matches declared in the sitemap that use the
HTML serializer, which is the default as specified above).
BTW the presence of and content of the DOCTYPE is used by (some)
browsers to indicate whether to interpret things like CSS strictly or
loosely
If you've got 'sensitive' bits of CSS - esp. positional CSS - then
things can appear *very* differently dependent on the presence and
content of the DOCTYPE declaration.
Hope this helps,
