Thanks for the answer, but it's "html", and the W3C validator explicitly
comlains about the doctype declaration. If I change "HTML" to "html" in the
doctype decl of the saved copy of the generated XML, it validates OK.

But I have played around a little bit more, and have changed my
sitemap.xmap entry to be

  <map:serializer name="html" mime-type="text/html"
                  src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer">
    <doctype-public>-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN</doctype-public>
    <doctype-system>DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd</doctype-system>
    <omit-xml-declaration>true</omit-xml-declaration>
    <encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding>
    <indent>1</indent>
  </map:serializer>

i.e., I use the XMLSerializer instead of the HTMLSerializer - and now I get
the right doctype declaration! (I also get the line "<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>" as the first line of the document. I thought I
could prevent this with <omit-xml-declaration>true</omit-xml-declaration>,
but this doesn't seem to be the case. Is this a problem?)

But is this the right way to do it? If so, does it deserve an FAQ entry? I
can't imagine that I'm the only Cocoon user who wants to generate XHTML and
validate the documents (or am I?).

I've filed a bug report for this issue. Thank you and Stefan for pointing
this out :-)

It seems that the HTMLSerializer and even the XHTMLSerializer classes in
Xerces still have 'HTML' hardcoded :-(
