            Bug ID: 29703
           Summary: [SER31] Bring the yes/no etc of the
                    serialization-parameters schema in line with the way
                    booleans are treated in XSLT's xsl:output
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Candidate Recommendation
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Serialization 3.1

  Target Milestone: ---

About two years ago, XSLT adopted a change for boolean-style attributes
(yes/no, true/false etc) to all accept the logical values of "yes", "true" and
1 and "no", "false" and 0 respectively, which works better with shadow
attributes and auto-generated stylesheets.

For instance, <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="false" /> or <xsl:output
standalone="0" /> are allowed.

The serialization spec, in particular the serialization-parameters schema, was
never brought in line with this. I think we should, it is just odd that
referencing an external document for your settings accepts different values
than xsl:output and xsl:result-document.

The parameters this applies to are:
- indent
- omit-xml-declaration
- standalone
- undeclare-prefixes
- byte-order-mark
- include-content-type
- allow-duplicate-names
