Section 3.3 says:

Extension attributes may also be used to control what happens to a final result
tree once the transformation is complete. They may thus be used to provide
additional parameters to the serializer, or to override the serialization
behavior specified in 20 Serialization.

The working groups decided today that they didn't want to support this behaviour
in the serialization spec. Therefore, this paragrgaph needs to change. I didn't
get a good sense as to what restrictions we want to impose on implementations in
this area.
