[thelist] Embedding HTML DocType into an XSL Document....

To answer my own question after googling (yet) again...

[?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?]
[xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"]
    [xsl:output method="html" indent="no" media-type="text/html" version="4.0"/]

    [xsl:template match="/"]
        [xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"]&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;[/xsl:text]
        [html]
        [head]

Use the "xsl:text" element. Sheesh.
