      <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">

            </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>
