XSLT 2.0 has lot of other features apart from regular expressions. For

complicated Muenchian grouping algorithm. it's also very scalable),
rich data typing (tightly integrated with XML Schema, which has many
benifits), a very huge function library, and quite a few more
benifits.

My point is that none of those really matter to me all that much.

Using Saxon just requires setting saxon8.jar in the classpath. Xalan-J
requires setting xalan.jar. So complexity of using Saxon is same as
Xalan.

Yes, and both are quite a bit more complex than using xsltproc. :-( Classpath is evil.
