A namespace gives an element a unique name.
If you specify http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform then it means that
the elements come from the XSLT language.

If you specify http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl then it means that the
elements come from the-language-known-as-xsl-in-ie5 this is an entirely
different language and it is not possible to have one stylesheet that
works both on an xslt system and on ie5 in its default setup.

Microsoft do now have a `preview web release' that updates ie5 to
provide a (subset) of XSLT.
