Hi Wolfgang and Eliot,

My confusion stems from the fact that the XSLT processor itself cannot
"make a decision" to turn off an implemented feature permanently.
Something/someone has to ask the processor (for example via a
configuration file) to do so.

Therefore, I suspect that this text means:

"A processor should provide a way for a user/organization to turn off
dynamic-evaluation permanently"

But still it is better for this to be specified clearly so that
readers should not have to make guesses.
