xsl stylesheet xmlns

it declares the xml namespace (hence xmlns) which has name the URL
http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0
is to be associated with elements and attributes that have the prefix
xsl:

You could just as well have

<jha:stylesheet xmlns:jha="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0">

and then use <jha:apply-templates etc, the XSL engine would treat
this exactly the same as a stylesheet using xsl:.

No, it is just a name.

No.
