xslt namespace

i've been using xslt for a while and can do pretty much anything i want in
it. but i'm still confused about some of the rediculous buzz words and TLAs
associated with xml.



my main problem is with the xsl namespace (i know what a namespace is). i
always use xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" but i also see
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" which i assume is a working draft. but is
WD-xsl xsl or xslt? i'm using the gnome libxsl and it doesn't like the
WD-xsl but people keep sending me stuff with WD-xsl in saying how simple things
aren't working and can i fix it. i was thinking maybe if they were using an
xsl-fo namespace they might not be getting all the xslt elements.
i know there's nothing at "http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" but from a user
point of view it would be logical to put either the spec there or a note about
what it is. i've gone to the w3 site but it's full of so much fud about
different things i can't tell what is current, what is redundant and what is a
prototype. is there a simple list anywhere, and have they changed the version
system to something more ummm... standard?

xml is *nearly* as bad as java for all the silly buzz words.
