Yes. In the examples, the document element (the only element) is a
literal result element (an element in a stylesheet that is not in the
XSLT namespace nor in an extension namespace and is therefore copied
over into the result as-is). So the stylesheet has a literal result
element as its document element (it's a simplified stylesheet). If you
look at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#result-element-stylesheet, just
after the code samples, it says:

  A literal result element that is the document element of a
  stylesheet must have an xsl:version attribute, which indicates the
  version of XSLT that the stylesheet requires.

So here, the literal result element that is the document element of
the stylesheet must have an xsl:version attribute.

Cheers,
