Description
Summary
-------
Change the behavior of the isStandalone property so that it takes effect regardless of the settings of the pretty-print property.


Problem
-------

The new implementation specific property isStandalone added through JDK-8249867 required the property format-pretty-print to be true. However, there are cases where applications want the serializer to produce an output with a newline after the header but without setting the pretty-print property.

Solution
--------

Remove the dependency on the pretty-print property. 

Specification
-------------

**JDK16u and Oracle JDK11u**

The javadoc will be exactly the same as described in the JDK17 CSR (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8261210). 
In the implementation note of the module summary (java.xml/module-info.java), specifically in table Features and Properties, remove **when the property format-pretty-print is set to true** from the property description.

**Oracle JDK8u and Oracle JDK7u**

The release note subtask (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8259502) is clarified with above content.
Comments
Moving to Approved.
