The problem with such an addition is reflected in the words "user's
prefered syntax".

Each consumer of the very same TriX instance may prefer a distinct
transformation.

Better to allow the user to configure the editor/browser to associate
a stylesheet with the TriX MIME type (which I guess should be defined
and registered...)
