The serialization spec [1] is very clear on which parameters can be ignored and which ones must be implemented. This information on parameters (options to our steps) are specific to the serialization method. For example, the 'xml' output method sections says for the 'omit-xml-declaration' parameter: "The XML output method MUST output an XML declaration if the omit-xml-declaration parameter has the value no. ..." where for the 'html' method it says: "The omit-xml-declaration and standalone parameters are not applicable to the HTML output method." As such, I think we require our implementors to follow the letter of the serialization specification. This means I can't define a minimum set except without duplicating the text in the serialization specification. I plan on having a separate section for serialization options. I can clarify all this in that section and then each of the steps that have serialization options can point to that section.
