Question: when outputting as XML, should the XSLT processor generate an XML declaration when for example no xsl:output is defined ? The spec says "The xml output method should output an XML declaration unless the omit-xml-declaration attribute has the value yes." However it seems a lot of examples I have found floating around expect the XML declaration to not be generated in the output even if there is no xsl:output element or if it doesn't specify the omit-xml-declaration attribute. This is the case for example D.2 Data Example from the spec itself, the SVG output. I didn't found any relevant entry in the FAQ nor the errata. So did I missed something from the spec ? Or is this a deviation from implementations when there is no xsl:output in the style and that omit-xml-declaration, standalone and encoding are undefined ?
