Yes. SAX2's LexicalHandler includes a "standalone" flag, so if one uses SAX
as an *output* format you should have control over that declaration. My
mistake (I wasn't thinking broadly enough, even though I've used SAX for
output a air bit before).
So I guess the solution might indeed be for the OP to switch to a Java SAX
writer. Might be more efficient, too.
