XSL processors that wish to support creation of HTML 4.0 and that wish
to use something in the stylesheet to trigger this should use this
mechanism to do so, rather than other possible mechanisms (like a
comment or a PI or the document element name).

The next generation of HTML is planned to be XML-based (see
http://www.w3.org/Markup/Activity).  If support for this becomes
universal, this solution will be unnecessary, so in that sense it is
interim.
