   xmlns:osxml="osxml" is a namespace declaration that binds the prefix 
'osxml' to the namespace name 'osxml'. In theory a namespace name should 
be a URI (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#sec-namespaces) so choosing 
'osxml' is not in line with that specification. But it does not do any 
harm for parsing that document.
With such a namespace declaration you do not have to downlaod anything, 
rather such a namespace declaration is put in there to qualify element 
and/or attribute names in the XML document so look for e.g.
   <xsl:template match="osxml:foo">
or
      <osxml:foo>
in that document if you want to find uses of that prefix.
