<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="doc.css" TYPE="text/css">

you have to use xml syntax so the stylesheet is well formed

    <LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="doc.css" TYPE="text/css"/>
                                                       ^

if using the html output method the / doesn't appear.

No. By the time the processor sees the file all the entity references
have gone and are replaced by their replacement text. this is a function
of the XML parser.

use 
<xsl:processing-instruction name="dbhtml">
filename="Hlp_Dth01.html"
</xsl:processing-instruction>

you can make it a parameter to the stylesheet but how you pass
parameters to the stylesheet depends on the system you are using.
