In theory, the namespace URL (or URI, as it's called nowadays) doesn't make 
any difference at all.

In practice, though, XSLT processors expect to see specific values in 
there. If you want to use standard XSLT -- highly recommended -- use:
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
The other one you'll see is for an outdated, Microsoft-only "XSL" processor:
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"

If you use the latter, your stylesheet will not be able to be processed by 
any but the Microsoft product. And even Microsoft is now recommending that 
you use the former.
