I personally think that most of what is needed in XSLT/XPath 2 is already
added by EXSLT, in which Mike, Jeni and I already participate actively. Of
course, there are some structural matters that would be nice to bother from
the current 2.0 series specs, such as sequences, the lack of RTF (true
excision, and not just cosmetic brush-over with exsl:node-set), multiple
result documents, if ... then in XPath, etc. I suppose it wouldn't be too
hard to select some modules from EXSLT and some wording from XPath/XSLT 2.0.
Not too hard, but it would take a lot of time to make a conscientious effort
of it, which is where I'd guess the trouble lies.
