Actually, the way XSLT 2.0 is going, I'd much prefer XSLT 1.1 or 1.5:
add the grouping and date handling, remove the nodeset/rtf distinction,
and fix a couple of other warts in XSLT 1.0. *That* would be a killer
language.

The situations that demand input/output validation and XQuery
integration are totally separate domains. That greatly complicates
XSLT 2.0, and obscures the fact that part of XSLT 2.0 is
XSLT 1.0 - warts + fixes.

Hell, plus +100.
