this problem. It works for me outside of Oxygen, using a customization
that only imports that stylesheet, includes your parameter setting, and
processing a version 5 document. None of the chunks have a declaration. Any
other details? <<
Additional testing indicates
<xsl:param
name="chunker.output.encoding" select="'ISO-8859-1'"/>
invalidates
<xsl:param
name="chunker.output.omit-xml-declaration"
select="'yes'"/>
