Damn, I knew somehow that writing about XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 would lead to trouble :-) I think an implementation was not yet planned, plus I don't know if we'll have enough human recources. I would love to help here; since I'm already trying to refactor Libxslt, which should also be helpfull for a later XSLT 2.0 implementation, I volunteer for that side (Bill, what about you?). It would also be nice to have some people outside of the core-team involved; I always wondered why there isn't much more input from other people - are we so scary? I don't know if Daniel has enough time to plan that beast; if there would be more helping hands we could take over more burden from him.
