https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29272

            Bug ID: 29272
           Summary: Adaptive Serialization of items other than nodes
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Candidate Recommendation
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Serialization 3.1

  Target Milestone: ---

10.1 states that "All serialization parameters, if set, will be passed down to
the serialization method that is applied to each item in the supplied
sequence.".

However, only nodes (excluding attributes and namespaces) are passed down to
another method. If we assume serialization parameters to be ignored for all
other items, this would e.g. mean that a specified "encoding" parameter would
not be applied to strings, but to text nodes. Three other parameters that might
need to be checked are "byte-order-mark", "normalization-form" and
"use-character-maps".

Maybe the easiest solution would be to use the existing "Text Output Method"
for outputting the strings resulting from the adaptive serialization rules?
