Is that true,, we can't deprecate and rename some things in a new
version of XSLT? Or change the way were doing things?

Were declaring the version of stylesheet precisely so things can change right.


It's been hard enough to get the user base to move forward when there's a high 
level of backward compatibility. If everyone had to change their code then most 
people wouldn't bother. There are millions of lines of XSLT code out there, 
much of it with no test material. You want a new version of the language to 
provide these people with a benefit not with a large conversion cost.
