I wondered about that too. I think there's something else going in the code 
sample, though. Note that the stylesheet root element is the unqualified 
element y, not the qualified xsl:stylesheet, and that the XSL(T) version is 
identified as 1.1 vs. 1.0. My assumption was that these questions had to do 
with a hypothetical "next level of XSLT."
