RE: [xsl] Namespace Identifiers - URI, URN, URL?

Thanks for the reply. This might be one of the great unsolved mysteries, but
isn't it confusing since "'xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" does not
necessarily refer to a real URL? Just wondering why the W3 couldn't use
something else that doesn't start with "http"..

Ohh...so I do not need the <?xml ... > declaration in the stylesheets? Quick
side question; does having that cause any problems?

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

No
