Version number in XSLT namespace URI

[James Clark <jjc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The discussion in XML Plenary about whether XHTML should use 1 namespace
URI or 3, summarized by Jon Bosak at:

 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-plenary/1999Aug/0091.html

leads me to wonder whether we've made the wrong decision in putting the
version number in the XSLT namespace URI.  Would it be more in keeping
with the Namespaces Rec to do:

  <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">

?  It would certainly make section 2.5 infinitely simpler. Has anybody
implemented 2.5 yet?  I haven't and it's a bit scary.
