In HTML (as distinct from XHTML), no closing tag is required for meta elements. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19506028/do-you-need-to-close-meta-and-link-tags-in-html

Unfortunately the TimingTraceListener isn't really designed to be customised, except by taking a copy of the source code and adapting it to produce your own version. I'll look at making some methods overridable, or providing some other way to capture the results into a user-supplied stylesheet.

I would suggest writing your own TraceListener to capture this information; you could do this by modifying the source code of TimingTraceListener, which can be found at

Alternatively, you can read HTML in a transformation by using the saxon:parse-html() extension function, or by setting up a SAXSource that uses TagSoup or validator.nu as the XMLReader. But this is a "screen-scraping" approach in which you become dependent on the detailed format of the HTML output, which is not stable or documented.

Thank you. I will try to implement the first approach then.

I tried a couple of things with the TimingTraceListener. However, I cannot find the stylesheet profile.xsl which is called on line 242. Could you provide me the file that I can make my necessary changes there? It seems easiest for my production environment to just output an xhtml file.

You can find it at

Incidentally, next to it there is a profile-json.xsl, which I suspect was an attempt to allow the timing data to be output in JSON, but I don't know if this was ever tested.
