Thus the elements that have special meaning to an XSL processor (as being XSLT instructions) can be distinguished from those that don't. That is to say, the instructions xsl:stylesheet, xsl:template, xsl:value-of are known to the XSL processor *not* by virtue of the prefix being 'xsl', but by the fact that those elements are associated with a *particular* namespace URI that the processor knows about. Originally there was just the "XSL" working draft which specified that the namespace URI to use was http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl. When the April 1999 working drafts of XSL(FO) and XSLT arrived, the XSLT namespace URI became http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0. When the October 1999 proposed recommendation was released, the URI changed to http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform and the version="1.0" attribute became mandatory for the xsl:stylesheet element. The version attribute was not used with the older URIs. The November 1999 final version of XSLT 1.0, which was adopted by the W3C as a Recommendation, uses the latter URI and the version attribute. Now for your problem, all versions of IE ship with an XML/DOM/XSL toolkit called MSXML 2.0, the meat of which is in a MSXML.DLL file in your Windows system32 directory. MSXML 2.0 supports only a subset of the Dec 1998 working draft of "XSL". For more information about how to upgrade your MSXML, see the unofficial FAQ at http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm ...and please continue this thread on the xsl-list, not xml-dev.
