XML/XSL transform problem in FF and Opera

i have some XML code,like this

XML.XML

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
    <!ENTITY nbsp "*"> 
]>
<?xml-stylesheet href="xsl.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<A>
  <B>text1</B>
  <B>text1</B>
</A>

XSL.XSL

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" version="html4.01" encoding="ISO-8859-1" 
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html/loose.dtd" /> 
<xsl:template match="/"><HTML>
<HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE style="height:100%;">
<TR><TD style="height:10px">text</TD></TR>
<TR><TD></TD></TR>
</TABLE>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</BODY>
</HEAD>
<HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

it has something with automatic !DOCTYPE with FireFox and Opera
in IE and Safari it works fine
with ordinary HTML page in FF and Opera,if you dont say what DOCTYPE to use,they have good algorythm for choosing which DOCTYPE they will use

but,during XSL transformation,FF and Opera rendering it like ordinary HTML page with this type of DOCTYPE

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

and than i dont have with HTML code what i want
TABLE height 100%, first row height 10px and second row height the rest up to 100% height of TABLE

anyone knows solution?

You can specify the doc type as :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/

In order to do this, you'd need to use the <xsl:output> node
<xsl:stylesheet ....>
<xsl:output method="html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"/>
