Well, yes I can see that it could get a bit complicated if each later
version was expected to emulate every earlier version. That'll teach me
to pay more attention to specifics. There it is in XSLT 1.1 Requirements
- but I only remembered the gist of it, not the "in error" exclusion:

"Any stylesheet whose behaviour is fully specified in version 1.0, and
which is not in error under version 1.0, MUST behave the same way under
version 1.1."
