Sorry, that's how the XSLT spec says to do, so Xalan is conforming appropriately. See http://www.w3c.org/TR/xslt#output, specifically section 16.1, where it notes: " The XML declaration should include both version information and an encoding declaration"
I don't think we have a Xalan-specific way to turn this off, sorry. ===== <eof aka="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" quote="Odo: [You'd shoot a man in the back?] Garak: [Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?]"/> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
