Yikes.  I still can't understand why anyone considers result-ns a good way
to indicate what the result syntax should be, leaving it up to every XSL
processor to keep a list of namespaces and provide code for supporting them.

Maybe if there was a pluggable module for handling result-ns, or, better, a
vocabulary developers could use to describe to the result syntax that was
somehow referenced by the XSL style sheet, this approach could work
smoothly.  Right now it feels like a random bit hanging off the side of the
spec.  Maybe it's just an escape clause, but I can't say it feels like a
'real' solution - that's probably why it's described as a 'hint' in Section 5.

Hopefully this will either grow or disappear...
