The <serialization> element
The serialization input element of the configuration file contains default serialization properties. These are
used as defaults for serialization properties that are not present in an <xsl:output> declaration in an XSLT stylesheet. They
currently have no effect on serialization of secondary result documents, or on serialization of XQuery results. The values are used
only at stylesheet compile time. When a stylesheet is loaded from a Stylesheet Export File, the serialization properties of the run-time
configuration have no effect.
