method xml <br>html <br>text <br>name Optional. Defines the output format. The default is XML (but if the root node's first child is <html> and there are no text nodes before it, the default is HTML). Netscape 6 only supports "html" and "xml".
version string Optional. Sets the W3C version number of the output format. (Only used when method="html" or method="xml").
encoding string Optional. Sets the value of the encoding attribute in the output.

standalone yes <br>no Optional. "yes" specifies that the XSLT processor should output a standalone document declaration. "no" specifies that the XSLT processor should not output a standalone document declaration. The default is "no". Netscape 6 does not support this attribute.
