Heh. You're quite right. Congratulations and yay for the new features,
especially the accumulators and catch-ability :)
yes XSL 3.0 seems to be a good mix of features, super congrats to the WG
I guess I was thinking of for example browsers being able to handle 2.0
features (which I don't think any can, can they?), but you're right of
course, lots of people are using it internally.
lets face it, the days of getting your fav language inside of the
browser are over ... it wont be xsl (or perl, php, ruby, python or
whatever) ... it will be javascript and you have an alternative in
saxon-ce ;)
in certain respects, we may look back on xslt support in the browser
as an anamoly that actually hurt adoption in the long run ... unsure,
but XSLT is well suited for many tasks and is not going away anytime
soon.

Since relatively few folks adopted 2.0
How did you measure that? certainly almost all the traffic here has been
xslt2 for years. (One of the shocks of looking at the xslt questions on
stackoverflow where I look occasionally is that there is still there a
tendency towards XSLT 1 use, which I found rather shocking really.
Outside of a browser I'd not use xslt 1.

Crystal balls required for that bit...
