But only if you use your own private definition of what it means to be
in a namespace. XSLT processors can not assume that the version
attribute in
<xsl:stylesheet version=...
is in the XSLT namespace because
if the attribute was in the XSLT namespaec it would be equivalent to
<xsl:stylesheet xsl:version=...
and that's an error.

The concept of "global attribute" as defined by the namespace spec is the
same as the concept of "attribute in a namespace". Whether or not it is
useful depends on your view of how useful namespaces are.
