Not sure what you mean here.  I consider "DocBook 5 XSL" to be the namespaced -ns- 
version of the stylesheets, because the -ns- version directly processes DocBook 5 
documents in the Docbook namespace.  The epub3 beta is written as an addon for the 
non-namespaced version of the stylesheet.  That version handles DocBook 4 documents 
directly, and it handles DocBook 5 documents by first stripping off the namespace of 
the document elements and then processing it as a Docbook 4 document.

If you install the addon with the -ns- namespaced stylesheets, I don't think it will 
work for either DocBook  4 or 5.  If you install it with the non-namespaced 
stylesheets, then it should work with either DocBook 4 or 5.  It has been tested by me 
with only one Docbook 5 document so far.  Does that answer your question?
