The xsl file says version 2.0. I believe it is only using 1.0
features, and it runs in Saxon if I declare it as version
1.0, but it only runs in XMLSpy if it is given version 2.0.
XMLSpy complains about the key definition, but that's not a
big concern.
An XSLT 2.0 processor that supports backwards compatibility mode (like
Saxon) will allow some or all of the modules to say version="1.0", and will
run the code in those modules in backwards compatibility mode (which as
David says only makes a difference if you are relying on features that you
would be unwise to exploit). Specifying version="1.0" does NOT disable use
of 2.0 features if you are running a 2.0 processor.
This is also true for AltovaXML, the engine inside XMLSpy. However, by
default XMLSpy will invoke an XSLT 1.0 engine if the principal stylesheet
module specifies version="1.0", and an XSLT 2.0 engine if it specifies XSLT
2.0. Therefore, in this mode of operation, 2.0 constructs will be disallowed
if the principal module specifies version="2.0". Note that if you're using
XMLSpy it's important to use the 2008 edition - support for XSLT 2.0 in
earlier versions is very buggy.
Can I <xsl:import> existing version 1.0 stylesheets which do other useful
things into a 2.0 stylesheet which does the glossary-specific stuff? Or do I
have to change them all?
No, you don't have to change them.

I'm not that au fait with XSL version 2.0 but I suspect that
it is probably a lot neater for this kind of job. Even in 1.0
I'm sure there is a better way of coding the stylesheet which follows.
XML document (shortgloss.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
