Re: XSLT 2.0 *and* XSLT 1.0 validation -- how to?

So then I just declare all the stylesheets as 2.0, and 1.0 processors 
will handle it?

Yes, but 2.0 processors may well not do so.

If your stylesheet says version="2.0" a 1.0 processor will process it in
forwards compatibility mode, which means, if it only uses 1.0 constructs
then it will be processed exactly teh same way as if it had said
version="1.0"

However a 2.0 processor will proces the stylesheet in 2.0 native mode
and so turn off the backward compatibilty feature so many constructs
that would work in a 1.0 processor will work differently, or raise a
type error.
