<h1>xsl:stylesheet</h1>
<p>The <code>xsl:stylesheet</code> element is always
the top-level element of an XSLT stylesheet. The
name <code>xsl:transform</code> may be used as a synonym.</p>
<p>The following attributes may be specified:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td content="para">
<p>version</p>
</td>
<td content="para">
<p>Mandatory. A value other than "1.0" invokes forwards compatibility mode.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td content="para">
<p>saxon:trace</p>
</td>
<td content="para">
<p>Value "yes" or "no": default no. If set to "yes", causes activation
of templates to be traced on System.err for diagnostic purposes. The value may be overridden
by specifying a saxon:trace attribute on the individual template.</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%">
