If you're really interested in this issue, you could ask on the LibXSLT
list, A while ago (several months, maybe a year) there was a discussion
on how LibXSLT could be updated to 2.0. I don't know what has become of
it so far.

Now, if your PHP-foo is high, there's plenty of extensions to what's
there in order to do most things you want, including regExp and
for-each-group. It's not a purist approach, but very pragmatic and -
quite possibly - the reason no one is pushing hard on native support
for it right now. There's simply not enough people demanding it, and
there's probably some good reason for it;

How far would you say the PHP with extensions stack can go to handle
the functionality of XSLT 2.0 - minus XSD integration? What things are
absolutely missing?

I suppose that even if the above is an easy task that doing something
like enforcing side-effects free usage of the extensions would be
basically impossible (especially given the aforementioned pragmatism
of php and that side-effects are allowed in extensions)
