------- Additional Comments From joannet@ca.ibm.com  2005-09-29 08:46 -------
The following text will be added to the end of section 3 to clarify support of 
extension attributes in serialization.

Implementations may define additional serialization parameters, and may
allow users to do so. For this purpose, the name of a serialization
parameter is considered to be a QName; the parameters listed above are
QNames in no namespace, while any additional serialization parameters must
have names that are namespace-qualified. If the serialization method is one
of the four methods xml, xhtml, html, or text, then such parameters may
affect the output of the serializer to the extent (but only to the extent)
that this specification leaves the output implementation-defined or
implementation-dependent. For example, such parameters might control whether
namespace declarations on an element are written before or after the
attributes of the element, or they might define the number of space or tab
characters to be inserted when the indent parameter is set to yes; but they
could not instruct the serializer to suppress the error that occurs when the
html output method encounters illegal characters (see error SERE014).
