Your URI string represents an archaic vendor-specific dialect of XSLT that 
was never standardized by the W3C and was only ever supported in versions 
of Internet Explorer.  (by that I mean an archaic dialect, not an archaic 
vendor)

Use xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; instead.

BTW, the above code will give you "Hello World" twice, once for the 
xsl:value-of and again for the built-in template rules that will be 
triggered by the xsl:apply-templates.  In IE5 you wouldn't get the double 
results because the processor for that vocabulary doesn't include any 
built-in template rules.

I hope this helps.
