The namespace URL http://exslt.org/strings is defined by exslt.org. And 
any implementation like the file at
<http://www.exslt.org/str/functions/tokenize/str.tokenize.msxsl.xsl>
then makes sure that it defines a function in that namespace so it looks 
like

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
                xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings";
                extension-element-prefixes="str msxsl">

<msxsl:script language="JavaScript" implements-prefix="str">

where the namespace declaration xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings"; is 
included and then the Microsoft specific msxsl:script element with its 
implements-prefix attribute indicates the prefix for which the script 
functions are defined.
