As it turns out I was completely off my "interpretation rocker" in
regards to the XSLT/FO WD draft split having anything to do with the
current feelings towards XSLT 2.0 on Redmond campus. While I have
gained a bit of a better understanding of things its probably best for
me to do a bit more research before I comment any further...
David, Michael,
Thanks for helping bring a much needed perspective into things!!!
Cheers :)

Are you talking about XSLT 2.0 ? :)
Microsoft learnt that the hard way and that's the reason both XSLT 2 and
XQuery are out. SQL Server will support some minimal "stable" part of
XQuery and that's it. Moreover, as many microsofties say nowadays, they
don't see much requests for client side declarative XML processing tools...
