Description Michael Kay 2013-07-08 16:20:41 UTC 
The xsl:stylesheet/@version attribute should only be mandatory when the stylesheet is a top level element; it's redundant when the xsl:stylesheet element is a child of xsl:package.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2013-07-31 18:30:12 UTC 
I have taken the liberty of fixing this as follows, subject to WG review:

<p>The <code>version</code> attribute indicates the version of XSLT that the stylesheet module requires. The attribute is <rfc2119>required</rfc2119>, unless the <elcode>xsl:stylesheet</elcode> element is a child of an <elcode>xsl:package</elcode> element, in which case it is optional: the default is then taken from the parent <elcode>xsl:package</elcode> element.</p>
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2013-08-12 14:18:27 UTC 
The change was accepted by the WG and has been applied.
