Dave, I am not using a stylesheet. I am just serializing a document from a SAXSource to a StreamResult. Even if it is supposed to switch to XML output because of the non-null namespace, why is the comment inside of the <style></style> tag not allowed? That should be allowed in XHTML as well.

According to the XSLT 1.0 recommendation, they must be serialized as XML: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method "The html output method should not output an element differently from the xml output method unless the expanded-name of the element has a null namespace URI; an element whose expanded-name has a non-null namespace URI should be output as XML. If the expanded-name of the element has a null namespace URI, but the local part of the expanded-name is not recognized as the name of an HTML element, the element should output in the same way as a non-empty, inline element such as span." You haven't shown us your stylesheet, so I'm not sure how you're generating the style element in the result tree. Perhaps if you posted a minimal stylesheet that illustrates the two different behaviors, someone can confirm the behavior is correct.
