RE: XSLT2.0 and HTTP-PUT

Thanks for the comment. I think it's hard for us to be prescriptive about
this. An XSLT processor designed solely for use on TV set-top-boxes might
have no market requirement (or technical possibility) to write output to an
HTTP PUT destination, nor indeed to anywhere other than the TV screen. We
want language interoperability, but we can't assume that all processors
execute in the same kind of environment.

I don't mind, however, putting in some kind of note giving examples of the
sorts of URI that permit writing.
