<h1>User-defined serialization attributes</h1>
<p>Any number of
user-defined attributes may be defined on <code>xsl:output</code>. These
attributes must have names in a non-null namespace, which must not be either the XSLT
or the Saxon namespace.
The value of the attribute is inserted into the <code>Properties</code> object made available to
the <code>Receiver</code> handling the output; they will be ignored by the standard output methods,
but can supply arbitrary information to a user-defined output method. The name of the
property will be the expanded name of the attribute in JAXP format, for example
"{http://my-namespace/uri}local-name", and the value will be the value as given in the stylesheet. </p>
