No. As in other uses (like extension-element-prefixes) the prefix
is just a local pointer to the URI. Prefixed son't have to match with
the prefixes actually used on function calls.

No. If a processor finds an extension function in some namespace it can
do whatever it wants to find a definition for that function. If
xsl:script doesn't supply one (or even if it does) it may use some other
mechanism.
