XSLT processor doesnt like DOCTYPE declaration in XML file

[mikeyjudkins]

New to XSL here. Im trying some basic tests transforming some XML files to HTML using XSL. The XML is output by a content management system, Teamsite, which outputs these files called DCRs that have DOCTYPE definitions at the top like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DOCTYPE record SYSTEM "dcr4.5.dtd">

<record name="20041209" type="content">
<item name="Title">
<value>Some Title</value>
</item>
<item name="SubTitle">
<value>President Vicente Fox Honors PLAMEX for
Excellence in Total Quality Management</value>
</item>
<item name="Paragraph">....and on and on.....</item>
</record>

The problem is that the XSL processor on the server side (we use ATG Dynamo JHTML which provides the server side parsing of the XSL) does not like the DOCTYPE definition inside DCR. But Teamsite needs the DOCTYPE definition to validate the XML with its tools. I tried closing the DOCTYPE element with a backslash like so:

<DOCTYPE record SYSTEM "dcr4.5.dtd"/>

it had a different result using the above but the XSL transform didnt get at the data in the item nodes. Instead of giving me an error it gave me empty results. Here is the XSL document for reference:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>

<xsl:template match="/record">
<xsl:for-each select='item'>
<p><xsl:value-of select="value"/></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</body>
</html>

</xsl:stylesheet>

<DOCTYPE record SYSTEM "dcr4.5.dtd">

That should be

<!DOCTYPE record SYSTEM "dcr4.5.dtd">
