Bill's example raises a question. Is it appropriate to return an unsolicited XSLT reference in an SRU response? I'm not offended, but feel like I should be. At any rate, we should probably have an official opinion on the subject. We put the xslt parameter into the request so that the client could control the look at their end. What should the server do when no stylesheet was requested? I don't see how a human is disadvantaged by having the response formatted by the browser. If she really wanted to see the raw response, she can always ask to view the raw source. If it was an application generating the SRU URL, then it can always ignore the single line of XSLT reference.
