    <thetext>There&apos;s an inconsistency between fn:serialize and fn:transform in the handling of serialization parameters.

fn:serialize can take a map of serialization parameters in which

&quot;The key of the entry is an xs:string value in the cases of parameter names defined in these specifications, or an xs:QName (with non-absent namespace) in the case of implementation-defined serialization parameters.&quot;

whereas in the case of fn:transform, the serialization parameters map

&quot;Standard parameters such as method and indent are supplied as QNames in no namespace.&quot;

Could we please choose one convention for the two functions?

    <thetext>Furthermore, fn:serialize gives a table describing the serialization parameters.  It would be nice if fn:transform referenced this table.</thetext>

    <thetext>The WG agreed that we should bring fn:transform into line with fn:serialize.</thetext>
