XSL Transformations Requirements - output destinations

In part 4 of the Version 1.1 requirements document for XSLT, the following
requirements are listed:

It MUST be possible to specify the destination URI (e.g. file name) of each
output document
It MUST be possible to assign the name of the destination URI dynamically
It MUST be possible to control serialization of each output document using
the same facilities as <xsl:output>

I would suggest that the implementation of the above requirements be
designed in such a way that they can be applied to xsl:message as well. The
third one is especially noteworthy, as it has an impact on the treatment of
xsl:element and similar instructions inside the message.

Further, I think that the requirements document should make an explicit
acknowledgement that the requirements above, or at least the third one,
apply to xsl:message or could apply in a later version.
