[xsl] Content negotiation in XSLT

[Richard Light <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can XSLT 2.0 do content negotiation?  Looking at the Linking Open Data 
work, it seems to me that it would be useful if XSLT processors could 
specify in the document() function that what they want is, for example, 
application/rdf+xml.  Then they could be served the RDF version of a 
Semantic Web resource, rather than the HTML "human-readable" version.

There are words in section 16.1 of the XSLT 2.0 spec about media types, 
but it isn't clear to me that they extend to being able to specify which 
media type you want.  I would be delighted to be put right on this one.
