Bug in xerces-j-dev: wrong root element type in DOCTYPE

Hi there,

When I create XHTML output with Cocoon 1.8 using Xerces-j-1.2.3, I get
"<!DOCTYPE HTML ..." instead of
"<!DOCTYPE html ..."

I think there's a bug in
org.apache.xml.serialize.HTMLSerializer.java
in startDocument():

The lines
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC " and
"<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "
are hard-coded, though there is the rootTagName parameter, which could
be used when output is HTML and which must be used when output is XHTML
(case-sensitivity of XML!).
