Title: Root tag name missing in DOCTYPE declaration when serializing using SAX

Hi,

I am serializing an XML document using SAX interfaces:

OutputFormat fmt = new OutputFormat ("xml", "UTF-8", true);
fmt.setDoctype(publicId, dtdUrl);
XMLSerializer xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer(writer, fmt);
xmlSerializer.startDocument();
...
empty = new String();
//root is the root element
xmlSerializer.startElement(empty, empty, root, attrs);
...

The output I am getting is missing the root tag in the DOCTYPE declaration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE  PUBLIC "publicID" "myDTD.dtd">

<root>
...
</root>

How do I make sure that my DOCTYPE declaration states the root element name ?

Thanks,
