When dealing with XHTML, I have had much success using Java 6's XMLStreamWriter interface.

OutputStream destination = ...;
XMLOutputFactory outputFactory = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
XMLStreamWriter xml = outputFactory.createXMLStreamWriter(destination);

xml.writeStartDocument();
xml.writeStartElement("html");
xml.writeDefaultNamespace("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");

xml.writeStartElement("head");
xml.writeStartElement("title");
xml.writeCharacters("The title of the page");
xml.writeEndElement();
xml.writeEndElement();

xml.writeEndElement();
xml.writeEndDocument();
