Very few, but the spec says
method ::= "xml" | "html" | "text" | qname-but-not-ncname

I currently allow "fop", but that's non-compliant, so I'm changing it to
have a namespace prefix.

cdata-section-elements is defined as a whitespace-separated list of qnames.
The prefix in the qname must be interpreted in the context of the specific
xsl:output statement, therefore a prefix must be resolved into a URI before
the lists from different xsl:output statements are merged.
