I don't remember the detailed history. At some stage the WG decided to remove the "recommendation" that XSLT processors support <?xml-stylesheet?> and replace it simply with an example of how one might do so. It was part of the exercise of tightening the boundary as to what was in scope for the XSLT spec and what wasn't - invoking the transformation is outside that boundary.
