Everything that comes under serialization is a "should" because
serialization itself is optional.
yes i understand why html output method is optional, I'm just not sure
that it couldn't be more specified in teh cases that teh ssystem choses
to support it.
My own view (and the way that XSLT 2.0 may go) is that serialization
should be an optional conformance module, and that most of the things
within it should then be "must"s.
sounds good to me.
XSLT 2.0 already has an option to switch off the generation of the
<META> element, on the grounds that users may prefer to do it
themselves.
users may say they prefer it, but will they get it right:-)
