I'd say something explicitly about the XPath API and not talk about
serialization, because XSLT doesn't operate on serialization and the template
spec changes the relationship of the serialization and the tree. Also, I'd
avoid "should" in non-normative text. Something like:

<p><em>Non-normative note: XSLT processing ought to treat template contents as
descendants of the template element in XSLT input and place the descendants of
a template element into template contents in XSLT output. However, XPath
evaluation using the XPath DOM API ought not to match on template
contents.</em></p>
