Hi,

You are aware of the xsl:output and doctype-public and doctype-system attributes?

>    <xsl:for-each select="data/DEFS/ROWSET/type">
>      <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
>  select="concat($s,'!ENTITY ',@id,' ',$qs)" />
>      <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>    
>      <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" 
>  select="concat($qs,'>')"
>  />
>    </xsl:for-each>
>  <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="concat($ef,$e)" />

Unfortenately XSLT doesn't support generating DTD internal subsets. You should probably try 
another tool to generate the DTD and then append the actual XML document to it.
