Out of curiosity, when you (and Mike) say out of scope for the XSLT spec, does
this mean also out of scope for the XSL Working Group. I would have thought
that DOM output is as much in scope as serialization output which the working
group did produce a spec for.

Agreed, the stylesheet association spec is entirely too under defined. For
example such a simple question of if the XDM tree produced by a XSLT
transformation is output as a serialization or a DOM is totally unanswered.
Resulting in different browsers doing different things.

And if <?xml-stylesheet?> applies to documents loaded for other purposes than
rendering (such as when loaded using XMLHttpRequest).

It'd also be nice to officially define the parameter-passing processing
instructions that firefox has implemented.
