XTSE0090: Attribute @format is not allowed on element <xsl:result-document>

[mrft]

When adding an xsl:result-document element to my stylesheet that contains a format attribute (for selecting the output method), this is the error returned:

SaxonCE.StandardErrorListener 17:08:16.652
SEVERE: Error at /xsl:stylesheet/xsl:template[2]/xsl:choose/xsl:when[1]/xsl:result-document in 
  XTSE0090: Attribute @format is not allowed on element 

but if I am reading the xslt 2.0 spec correctly about xsl:output and xsl:result-document this should be possible.

Is this a bug or a mistake on my part?

There’s no serializer in Saxon-CE, so the format attribute doesn’t make much sense (nor do the serialization attributes like indent and the like). For conformance I suspect the format attribute should be accepted and ignored (or validated and then ignored) but it looks like there’s an oversight in the code and it doesn’t do this.
