[Bug 27258] [XSLT30] ambiguities in text in spec on @item-separator

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27258

--- Comment #5 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
I have made the first change in comment 2 (removing the statement that
item-separator is not allowed), but the other changes need WG discussion. The
key question is, should xsl:result-document always construct a document node?
If it does, then we cannot produce secondary results in JSON format.

I propose that xsl:result-document should produce a document node only if the
output method is xml, html, xhtml, or text. If the output method is anything
else, it is sent in raw form to the serializer, which can do what it likes with
it. Of course in 3.0 the only other method allowed is user-defined
serialization method, but we can add a note that JSON is coming along.

This means that item-separator makes sense on xsl:result-document, to support
serialization methods other than these four.
