Funny that. each thinks the other ns is a function in their 'own' language.
   
  Is there any way the XSLT spec could be tightened up to stop this
  happening please? It appears to be when the processor tries to
  get more out of the namespace than is warranted.
Saxon says:
    The URI urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt does not identify an external
Java class
  which whilst true, relates more to extensions than my use, in fallback
scenario.

I didn't have the microsoft prefix as an extension element prefix.





Only solution I could find was to use the processor string in a choose.

 <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="contains($processor,'SAXON')">

and

 <xsl:when test="contains($processor,'Microsoft')">


Mmmm.
