I agree with Ed that something else is going on here.
I used the same xsltproc version with the xhtml/docbook.xsl
stylesheet, and the top of my xhtml output looks
like this (indentation added for clarity):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>my book</title>
<meta name="generator" content="DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.60.1" />
<script src="../testing/foo.js" language="JavaScript"></script>
</head>
<body>
...
Note the DOCTYPE declaration, and the namespace declaration
on the <html> element, not the <head> element. And the
other elements are output in the XHTML-compatible style.
Can you post your customization layer?
