but element (the only element, therefore also the doc ele) is not defined as
a stylesheet element its an "a" element that has an xslt 1.0 namespace
declaration within its context ... but it doesn't belong to the namespace
nor is it an xslt stylesheet element.  

So is the xslt version attribute declaration still needed?

No the changes appendix is non normative but the change itself is
normative.

the definition of the stylsheet element (2.2) says

> An xsl:stylesheet element must have a version attribute, 

and the simplified syntax (2.3) says

> A literal result element that is the document element of a stylesheet
> must have an xsl:version attribute,
