I have an xsl-file that transforms an xml-file into xhtml. In this xsl-file
I want to specify some internal entities for  font face and font size, so

just the entities without having a "real" dtd?

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY headerfont "Arial,Helvetica,Univers,sans-serif">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet... [etc.]

Personally though I'd rather put the font faces/sizes in a CSS stylesheet and simply emit the <link> tag to connect the XHTML file to it; a lot less cruft in the result tree (replacing all the font specs with a simple "class='...'" attribute on the appropriate elements). A matter of taste, maybe!
