[XALANJ-2216] Xalan specific Transformer properties not fully documented

Description

The Xalan specific output properties are documented at
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/usagepatterns.html#outputprops

Indeed one can over-ride such properties by defining them in an <xsl:output...> element, e.g.
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
and one can set them via a JAXP API, e.g.
Transfomer.setOutputProperty("indent", "yes");

The page mentions how to set similar, but Xalan-J specific properties, e.g.
<xsl:output indent="yes" xalan:indent-amount="4" />
where the prefix xalan maps to the URI "http://xml.apache.org/xalan"

However the page does not document that a Xalan specific property can be set via JAXP, e.g.
Transfomer.setOutputProperty("

{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}

indent-amount", "4");

I presume that this is a supported way to set a Xalan specific property and that it is just missing from the page. It is not documented, but is it supported?
