Hi,

In was reading (for the nth time) the XSL spec and found a chapter that
indicates a possible dependency toward a specific SGML application. What the
spec don't say is: is this retricted to only a certain family of SGML apps
(HTML) or this could be any type of SGML apps. How do you interpret this?

Spec Extract:
------------------------
NOTE: If an implementation wishes to use something in the result tree or
stylesheet to control the output of a non-XML representation of the result
tree, it should use the result namespace. In particular, if it wishes to
make use of something in the result tree or stylesheet to indicate that the
result tree should be output as HTML that conforms to the HTML 4.0
Recommendation rather than as XML, it should use a result namespace of
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40; for example,
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";
  result-ns="">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

...

</xsl:stylesheet>
