That's not what they mean (I don't think).
Right now, MSIE 5.0 supports the "http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
namespace, because they (partially) implemented an early draft. The
final REC of XSLT 1.0 will probably still use the
"http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0" namespace. Microsoft appears to
be saying that the old namespace will continue to work, and in the
manner in which it currently works. The new namespace will work, they
say, in a manner compatible with the processing requirements of the
XSLT 1.0 Recommendation, whatever those are.
