[debiandoc-sgml-pkgs] Bug#430575: debiandoc-sgml: debiandoc2xml should generate XML declarations

[W. Borgert]

Package: debiandoc-sgml
Version: 1.1.101
Severity: wishlist

It can be useful to have the <?xml version="1.0" encoding=...?>
line in all output files, e.g. if using other XML tools/editors
on the output, that might depend on its presence.

One would also need to change including other files from:
<!ENTITY chapt1.xml SYSTEM "chapt1.xml" > in the DOCTYPE
and &chapt1.xml; in the text into:

<xi:include href="chapt1.xml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"/>

in the text. Which is the "modern" style, AFAIK.

Btw., it would also be nice, if the user could chose the file
extension. ".xml" is a bit too general, I very much prefer
".dbk" for DocBook. I'm just too lazy to file a bug of its own.
