Hmm, neither of these are actually produced by the
stylesheet!
I looked at the template in xhtml/docbook.xsl,
and it is *not* generating an id attribute. If I process
a document with the xhtml stylesheet and xsltproc, I get an
id="generator" attribute in the <meta name="generator">
output. But when I process it with Saxon, I don't get the
id attribute. I have to conclude that xsltproc is
volunteering that attribute, but I can't see why.
The xmlns attribute is output at the discretion of
the processor. It should be able to put it just in
the document root element <HTML> without having to
repeat it all over the place. Older versions of
xsltproc put out a lot more than it needed, but later
versions don't. Saxon seems to do pretty well.
Perhaps if you upgrade your xsltproc it will be cleaner.
