  JAXP XSLT processor complains about unknown attribute of 'xsl:template' element in the following
stylesheet that should be processed in forwards-compatible mode (See test.java below):
  
         <xsl:stylesheet version='2.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&#39;>
              <xsl:template a='1' match='/'>
                 <H2><xsl:value-of select='//author'/></h2>
                 <H1><xsl:value-of select='//title'/></h1>
              </xsl:template>
         </xsl:stylesheet>

The element 'xsl:template' has the attribute 'a' that is not allowed by XSLT 1.0. This attribute must
be ignored since the 'xsl:stylesheet' element has the attribute 'version' which value is not equal to
'1.0'. The XSLT specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#forwards) reads:

    "An element enables forwards-compatible mode for itself, its attributes, its descendants and
their attributes if either it is an xsl:stylesheet element whose version attribute is not equal to
1.0 ...

If an element is processed in forwards-compatible mode, then:
   ...

   if the element has an attribute that XSLT 1.0 does not allow the element to have or if the element
has an optional attribute with a value that the XSLT 1.0 does not allow the attribute to have, then
the attribute must be ignored."

This bug is found in the builds jdk1.4.0-beta3-b82, jaxp-1.1.3.
