Namespaces and IE5.5 (not IE 5.0)

[Don Bruey <dbruey at CreativeSolutions dot com>]

I have learned a great deal from the FAQ about namespaces but can't find any
IE5.5 -specific info on which namespaces "mean" something to IE5.5. (Not
IE5.0)  I have the following three lines in my .XSL

<!-- some XSL -->
<xsl:for-each select="//XML_Trans_Temp[Account='100' or Account='108']"> 
	<xsl:apply-templates select="." /> 
</xsl:for-each> 
<!-- some XSL -->

If I start off with this namespace, I'm okay with this and get the output I
want, no problem
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">  

If I start off with this, I get no output.  
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xslt="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"> 

I assume that it's because IE5.5 doesn't associate
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" with a namespace.  

Question:  How do I know specifically which namespace identifiers IE5.5
"knows."  I would like to try using some of the new-to-IE5.5 functionality
such as preceding-sibling, etc. but IE5.5 doesn't appear to recognize them.
(Perhaps I am using preceding-sibling wrong, don't know.)  A further
question would be which namespaces cover which XSL functionality, if one
doesn't cover them all. 

I have also scoured MSDN, etc. and can't find anything along these lines.
TIA.
