Re: EMP.XML & Diff between XSL w3.org/TR/WD-xsl & w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform

["Steve Muench" <smuench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

| <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>

This is the namespace for Microsoft's implementation of XSL
which was based on the December 1998 working draft of the
XSL specification (the last version before IE5 went production).

| <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

This is the official XSLT 1.0 Recommendation namespace 
supported by XSLT 1.0-compliant processors like:

 -> Apache's "xalan"
 -> Microsoft's "msxsl3" (July 2000 Beta is latest version)
 -> Oracle's "oraxsl"
 -> Michael Kay's "saxon"
 -> James Clark's "xt"

To use XSLT 1.0 Recommendation stylesheets with IE5 you
need to download Microsoft's MSXSL3 version from MSDN
and run the script provided that substitutes this newer
XSLT 1.0 compliant processor for the default one that
ships with IE 5.0 and IE 5.5.

It might be simpler for you to use one of the above
XSLT processors from the command line to do:

  $ oraxsl emp.xml emp.xsl

to see the transformed results.
