Hard-coded. It's just like a unique "key" string
that, per the XSLT 1.0 specification, lets the
XSLT processor know that when you use <xsl:template>
that you mean *the* <template> element in the XSLT 1.0
namespace.

You can technically map the prefix "xsl" to *any* 
namespace like:

<xsl:template xmlns:xsl="urn:something-else">

And the processor would not recognize this
as an "XSLT template"...

Conversely, you can map *any* prefix to the XSLT 1.0
namespace like:

<tired-fingers:stylesheet 
     xmlns:tiredfingers="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
     version="1.0">
  <tired-fingers:template match="/">
    <something>here</something>
  <tired-fingers:template>
</tired-fingers:stylesheet>

or

<x:stylesheet xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
              version="1.0">
  <x:template match="/">
    <something>here</something>
  <x:template>
</x:stylesheet>

Both of which are legal, runnable XSLT 1.0 stylesheets.

| ok...one more dumb question guys...when we say
| 
|  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
| 
| We are specifying an URI. Does the XSLT processor go and fetch this URI or
| is it just hard coded?.

| The Problem is the version of 
| xmls that you are using. Although it is the latest its not
| the one that IE5 recognizes.  Use the following
| 
| xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
| instead of
| xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
| 
| and it should work fine.  You can leave all the other ones

| Hi,
| 
| This is probably me just making stupid things, but my XSLT in IE5 doesn't
| give any output:
| 
| XSL
| ----
| 
| <?xml version="1.0"?>
| <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
|  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
|  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict";>
| 
| <xsl:output
|  method="xml"
|  indent="yes"
|  encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
| 
|  <xsl:template match="/">
|   <html>
|    <head>
|     <title>Test of XSLT in IE5</title>
|    </head>
|    <body>
|     <xsl:apply-templates/>
|    </body>
|   </html>
|  </xsl:template>
| 
|  <xsl:template match="bar">
|   <p>bar template</p>
|   <xsl:apply-templates/>
|  </xsl:template>
| 
|  <xsl:template match="baz">
|   <p>baz template</p>
|   <p>
|    <xsl:apply-templates/>
|   </p>
|  </xsl:template>
| 
| </xsl:stylesheet>
| 
| 
| With this XML-document, nothing happens except my debug output:
| 
| <?xml version="1.0"?>
| <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl" ?>
| <test>
|    <foo f_id="1"/>
|    <foo f_id="3"/>
|    <bar>
|       <baz b_id="1">test</baz>
|       <baz b_id="2">test2</baz>
|       <baz b_id="3">test3</baz>
|       <baz b_id="4">test4</baz>
|    </bar>
| </test>
| 
| Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or is it a Microsoft IE5
| issue?
| 
| Thanks,
| 
| /Jan
