Actually, a valid XSLT 2.0 stylesheet that specifies version="2.0" is a
valid XSLT 1.0 stylesheet, because of forwards-compatibility mode.


But isn't validation of an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet with a schema for XSLT
1.0 going to generally fail (e.g. if xsl:function is used)?

Also, if an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet contains an xsl:function element will
this not be accepted as valid if the schema for XSLT 2.0 is used?

If so, what can be done to workaround for this problem?
