It is legal but we can't say if it will work because you haven't said
what you are using.

   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
   xmlns:xslt="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

this defines xsl: to be the prefix for ie5 flavoured xsl and xslt:
to be the prefix for w3c flavoured xsl. So, are you using ie5 or
or a conforming XSL system?

Your template command used <xsl:template rather than <xslt:template
so it will be a template to ie5 but just an ignored top level element
from a foreign namespace to a conforming XSL engine.

<xsl:template match="ENTRY">
        <xslt:variable name="spancols">2</xslt:variable>

ie5 will not recognise the xslt:variable command.

It looks like your sheet would work if you changed all your xsl:xxxx to
xslt:xxxx, but it depends what you really wanted to do, why you had both
namespaced declared?
