XML Namespace - why IE version dependent?

I'm using a XSLT to transform a XML page into XHTML in IE 5.0 and for that
i've to used the xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" to make it work...
and not the xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform".

First I thougt the during transformation the namespace URI must be getting
validated on www. But when view the XML doc while off-line, it still works.
So, if what difference it make if I use any one of the above. Is the URI
is stored in my browser?

Yes, IE has an internal definition for those namespaces. See this:

xslt_starter_8f3o.asp

Watch for URL wrapping in the link.
