no worries, I make at least 5 typing mistakes a day.

a namespace URI has to be unique in all situations (a native
implementation that is not part of EXSLT...lets take saxon:doc for
example lives under a different namespace). Why we choose uppercase or
lowercase S was just a matter of taste and I suspect that most XSLT
processors probably accept uppercase and lowercase (though this would be
against the spec re uniqueness!).
