Nic,
An XML document instance must have an xml declaration
otherwise it is not
valid XML. If you want to have no xml declaration you need
to output SGML.
Only SGML documents allow not declaration as the very first
line in the
document. I'm not sure how to get SGML output using
libxml2 but . Your
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" doctype
is SGML. Maybe your
statement about "xml_output_buffer" is wrong.
Is there an
'sgml_output_buffer' in libxml2 that you could use?
I hope that this helps.

I disagree with this statement:
-----------
<!DOCTYPE foo [
<!ELEMENT foo EMPTY>
]>
<foo/>
-----------
it has no XMLDecl but is valid.

It's possible, use the xmlsave.h APIs with the
XML_SAVE_NO_DECL option.

This is not true, John.
An XML 1.1 document MUST have an XML decl. Here is the
relevant para
from http://www.tapsellfer
rier.co.uk

One more thing... the XML decl does not infer validity. Only
a DTD or
schema can infer validity.
The decl is simply required by XML 1.1 to state the version
of XML
being used. XML 1.0 doesn't require it because 1.0 is
assumed.

Only if the encoding differs from UTF-8 or ASCII and then
only if
there is no other authority to declare it (such as HTTP
headers).
And then you’re only talking about well-formedness, not
validity,
which are two very different things.

No way to do it from Python though?
Is it the case that the xmlsave stuff has come fairly
recently and the
Python code has not been rejigged to use it?
It looks like the xmlsave API is slightly more generic than
the stuff
the Python layer uses.

2.8 Prolog and Document Type Declaration
[Definition: XML 1.1 documents MUST begin with an XML
declaration
which specifies the version of XML being used.] For
example, the
following is a complete XML 1.1 document, well-formed but
not valid:
<?xml version="1.1"?>
<greeting>Hello, world!</greeting>
but the following is an XML 1.0 document because it does
not have an
XML declaration:
<greeting>Hello, world!</greeting>
