enough to be generally useful

And XQuery *is not* XSLT -- a lot of XSLT features missing -- the most
important is templates.
Until version 3.0 XQuery doesn't have grouping, etc. ... etc.

No, it's not XSLT and it doesn't solve the same problems, but it is a
(mostly) non-XML syntax for doing things with XML that has multiple
interoperable implementations and a body of users, which none of the
non-XML XSLT syntaxes have managed.
