No, it would go on, and process things via fallback, this behaviour is
specified in the xslt 1.0 spec. But as Jeni notes you can only fallback
or detect new xsl elements or new xpath functions. You can't do anything
if the same syntax means something different.



XSLT 1.0 says:

  Thus, any XSLT 1.0 processor must be able to process the following
  stylesheet without error, although the stylesheet includes elements from
  the XSLT namespace that are not defined in this specification:

  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"


so just putting 1.1 or 2.0 in the version number will _not_ produce any
warning if the stylesheet is run on a 1.0 processor.
