Is Saxon just following the instructions for the HTML output method in
XSLT1.0:

"The html output method should escape non-ASCII characters in URI
attribute values using the method recommended in Section B.2.1 of the
HTML 4.0 Recommendation."
                  http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method

Or does it go beyond this?
