Re: Use of xslt:output attributes in submission

Some extra info so that we can discuss it faster on the phone:

 * name: not applicable, it is used for referencing later

 * byte-order-mark: The byte order mark may be undesirable under certain circumstances; for example, to concatenate resulting XML fragments without additional processing to remove the byte order mark. Therefore this specification does not mandate the byte-order-mark parameter to have the value yes when the encoding is UTF-16, even though the XML 1.0 and XML 1.1 specifications state that entities encoded in UTF-16 must begin with a byte order mark. Consequently, this specification does not guarantee that the resulting XML fragment, without a byte order mark, will not cause an error when processed by a conforming XML processor.

 * escape-uri : Not applicable for XML serialization

* include-content-type: Not applicable for XML serialization

 * normalization-form: Has to do with how to serialize unicode text -> could be handy if you need it…

* undeclare-prefixes: Maps the prefix to the empty namespace if the prefix is defined on the node in the Data Model (not sure how this can occur in XForms)

 * use-character-maps : Used to do character replacements

In the submission element (http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/XForms_2.0#The_submission_Element_2) we use a number of attributes for XML serialization that we took from the output element of XSLT 1.0 (we use all except doctype-public and doctype-system). This is just a heads up that XSLT 2.0 added some more, that we may want to decide on one way or the other.

XSLT 1.0:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#output
<xsl:output
-  method = "xml" | "html" | "text" | qname-but-not-ncname
  version = nmtoken
  encoding = string
  omit-xml-declaration = "yes" | "no"
  standalone = "yes" | "no"
-  doctype-public = string
-  doctype-system = string
  cdata-section-elements = qnames
  indent = "yes" | "no"
  media-type = string />

XSLT 2.0:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#element-output
<xsl:output
+  name? = qname
-  method? = "xml" | "html" | "xhtml" | "text" | qname-but-not-ncname
+  byte-order-mark? = "yes" | "no"
  cdata-section-elements? = qnames
-  doctype-public? = string
-  doctype-system? = string
  encoding? = string
+  escape-uri-attributes? = "yes" | "no"
+  include-content-type? = "yes" | "no"
  indent? = "yes" | "no"
  media-type? = string
+  normalization-form? = "NFC" | "NFD" | "NFKC" | "NFKD" | "fully-normalized" | "none" | nmtoken
  omit-xml-declaration? = "yes" | "no"
  standalone? = "yes" | "no" | "omit"
+  undeclare-prefixes? = "yes" | "no"
+  use-character-maps? = qnames
  version? = nmtoken />
