I agree on the principle as well. But it's been almost 4 years since
XSLT 1.0, and there is a real need in the industry for a new version
of XSLT. I would think that the XML community's experience with 1.0,
EXSLT and other extensions would have been enough to get to a
satisfying (W3C standard) XSLT 2.0 by now. Do I understand correctly
that you are pointing your finger at the reliance of XSLT 2.0 on W3C
Schema?
Maybe W3C should require the development of a reference implementation
for every spec. This is the way Sun's Java Community Process works.
