I am doing the same kind of thing. But when i look at write.chunk, i see that it
checks which extension is available (exsl:document, saxon:output,
xalanredirect:write) and uses the first one found, in that order. Each can
specifiy the doctype except xalanredirect. I am using Xalan-J (shipped with the
jsdk2 1.4.2-04), and it seems not to support exsl:document because i get this
error when processing :

Erreur XSLT (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): For extension element,
could not find method
org.apache.xalan.lib.ExsltCommon.document(org.apache.xalan.extensions.XSLProcessorContext,
org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemExtensionCall).

Then looking at the javadoc (google exsltcommon xalan), i can see the
ExsltCommon only has two methods, none of which is "document" ; so it is quite
normal it fails. But am am a little surprised it is not supported...

If i made a mistake, i'd be happy to have a solution, and of course any comment
is welcome :-)
