It doesn't sound to me, after reading the thread, as if a libxslt 2.0
will happen.
IMO, it doesn't (quite) matter if the current discussion doesn't lead to
running software, much as I would prefer it if it did. The question of
whether there would be a libxslt for XSLT 2.0 has been asked several
times over recent years, and each time it comes closer to being answered
with "yes". If this surge were to falter, it would still mean that the
next surge of stated interest could result in a viable project.
Of course, it may instead be that some other open source C XSLT 2.0
processor appears, but if it did, it might well be advised to also have
a libxslt-compatible API, given the Perl, Ruby, PHP, C++, and Python
bindings for libxslt that are in use today.
