that's not just another namespace that is a different language that is
almost completely unrelated to XSLT. It was implemented in msxml 2 (and so
IE5) prior to Microsoft implementing XSLT, MSXML3 implemented both
languages, MSXML4 and later products only implement XSLT. No
non-microsft product ever implemented that language, which was loosely
based on an early draft of XSL but mainly consisted of microsoft specific
constructs.

Microsoft's wd-xsl doesn't have anything analogous to xsl:key as far as
I can recall and the behaviour of its templating language was quite
different. So you'd have to completely re-write your stylesheet to use
that language.

It would be bizarre indeed to use that language when it is not supported
in any current product. I don't know but I would be most surprised if it
is implemented in the standard .net classes.
