Meta element not inserted for output method=html - Xalan Bug?

Meta element not inserted for output method=html - Xalan Bug?

Hi,

I was just investigating in a post Angus McIntyre sent (HTML output method and
& in URLs).

I created a simple "test case":

file source.xhtml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<a href="http://www.bla.de/cgi-bin/script?p1=a&p2=b">Test</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

file xhtml2html.xslt
<xsl:transform
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
<xsl:output
method="html"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"
encoding="utf-8"
/>
<xsl:template match="@*|*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

I'd expect the output to contain a head element like this:
<head profile="">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>

But the actual result is:
<head profile="">
<title/>
</head>

So
1. Xalan generates not-wellformed HTML (regarding SGML/HTML wellformedness
rules)
2. Xalan omits the meta element which it should output regarding to XSLT
section 16.2 HTML Output Method.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
If I've missed something, what?
If it's a bug, is it already reported?

I use Xalan-J Version 2.4.1 which is installed in the endorsed directory of my
JDK 1.4.1_01 on Linux with xercesImpl.jar from Xerces 2.2.1, also in the
endorsed directory.
I invoked Xalan like this:
java -jar /usr/dist/apache/xml/xalan/latest/bin/xalan.jar -IN source.xhtml
- -XSL html2xhtml.xslt -OUT xalan.html
the xalan.jar invoked is guaranteed to be the same xalan.jar as the one
residing in the endorsed directory using soft links.

(The Behaviour Angus previously reported (& being output as & instead of
&) was not reproducable by me.)

Bye
