Personally I plan to stick with 1.0 for the foreseeable future for most of my work unless maybe I need to do something that 2.0 makes a lot easier.


From the moment I found out that matches( . , 'something') and replace( . , 'someting', 'something else') (both fully support regular expressions) were in XSLT 2, I never looked back. When I learned about xsl:function (defining new functions for use in xpaths), unparsed-text() and unparsed-text-available() (for non-XML documents) I only looked forward. All these tedious hard-to-understand recursive templates for simple string replacement all went down the garbage bin.

A warning: don't try it, it is dangerous: you'll get yourself a new addiction!
