Regarding <!DOCTYPE>, SAXON is wrong. It is applying the method="xml" rule
that doctype-public is ignored unless doctype-system is also specified. This
rule should not be applied when method="html". Congratulations on finding
the first bug.
As regards the output of namespace declarations on literal result elements,
I believe SAXON is correct: section 7.1.1 says that the created element node
will have a copy of any namespace node other than XSLT, a namespace declared
as an extension namespace, or an excluded namespace.
