The prefix (if there is one) is arbitrary. All of the following are legal
syntax for the start of an XSL stylesheet. The _only_ thing that
matters, both in the stylesheet and in the input document is the
full `expanded' name of an element name, which consists of a pair,
uri and local name. The prefix is just a syntax trick.

In particular, as you see, XSL places no special significance on the
xsl: prefix.
