Excuse the naiveté, but what is an XSLT processor expected to do with an
element called sort-1.1?  Shouldn't it raise an error for an unknown XSL
element?

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."
