That isn't right! You can put anything in there except a namespace that
means something like "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" i.e.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
                xmlns:user="anyoldname"
                version="1.0">

  <msxsl:script language="VBScript" implements-prefix="user">
     function formatArg(idate)
       formatArg = ucase(idate)
     end function
  </msxsl:script>

  <xsl:template match="testcode">
    <xsl:value-of select="user:formatArg(date)"/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Would work just as well

Ciao Chris
