Hmmm... it doesn't seem to be required for the transformation to 
produce the expected result.  Adding it doesn't seem to change 
anything.  Removing the namespace declaration does: so that seems to 
be required.

I find paragraph 14.1 of the W3C recommendation really 
non-descriptive, even confusing.  It doesn't say anything about 
extension-elemenet-prefixes being required.


Is this a standards conformation issue?   The namespace definition 
seems to be enough to get the extension function recognized and 
handled correctly.  At least in libxslt.
