The significance is that you don't have to invoke the XSLT serializer. For example, if you run a transformation in Mozilla the result tree is passed straight to the HTML rendering engine, without first serializing it. Similarly, in the MSXML world you often send the transformation result to a DOM and then use the DOM serializer, which doesn't understand things like xsl:output and disable-output-escaping.
