If you disable the serialization feature, then:

* You must not serialize the results of a query according to the serialization
spec.
* You still must support fn:serialize(), unless we make it an optional feature
during CR - it is not an error to call fn:serialize() in a query if the
serialization feature is disabled.
* You can still do a vendor-defined serialization
* You can still return results of a query in a non-serialized format, e.g. a
DOM tree

Our specification does not know anything about the implementation's API, this
question is out of scope.

> Does it cause errors to be raised when output declarations are encountered?

No, this is not an error.

> Does it cause fn:serialize to raise an error?

No, this is not an error.
