Thanks for the helpful link. With the following RESTXQ module..

module namespace rest = 'http://exquery.org/ns/restxq';
declare %rest:path("") %output:method("html")
 %output:doctype-system("about:legacy-compat")
 function rest:start() { <html/> };

..and the following request..

curl "http://admin:admin@localhost:8984/restxq"

..I get the following result..

<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat">
<html></html>

..so all serializations options should also be supported by RESTXQ.
Which result would you expect?
Christian
