As far as I can tell, this is as per spec, but I can't see a way of saying 'I want to keep the DOCTYPE'.

Can anyone shed any light?

Many thanks in advance for any reponses.

OK, I've got it.

Even though this.document and domSource 'know' about the DOCTYPE element, the transformer doesn't include it in the output UNLESS you specifically add it as a property of the transformer using something along the lines of...

transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, document.getDoctype().getSystemId());
