I noticed that the following isn't adhered to:

  The html output method should not escape a & character occurring in an
  attribute value immediately followed by a { character (see Section
  B.7.1 of the HTML 4.0 Recommendation). For example, a start-tag written
  in the stylesheet as

    <BODY bgcolor='&amp;{{randomrbg}};'>

  should be output as

    <BODY bgcolor='&{randomrbg};'>

Note there's a bug in the above text from the XSLT spec (the double {{ }}
should be single). libxslt outputs the above as the XML output method
would though.
