What happened in the first querters of 2006 that forced XSLT 2.0 to drop
off the map?
As I'd expect,
http://www.google.com/trends?q=xslt+2.0%2C+xquery&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
provides proper context as it relates to the two more comparable languages
in XSLT 2.0 and XQuery.
But, to me anyways, these are the most telling of them all:

Verdict: LINQ has kicked XQuery's rear-end, whereas the popularity of LINQ
has had no noticable effect on the popularity of XSLT (either version.)
Interestingly enough, the same can be said about XPath:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=linq%2C+xpath&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
None of this surprises me.
Food for thought: When MSFT finally wakes up in two-three years and
delivers their XSLT 2.0 processor, will XSLT see a sudden upswing of
interest? My guess is yes.
