I have stoppped worrying about 

 a) the node-set extensions
 b) the ability to write several output documents

they seem so sensible and uncontroversial that I just assume they'll
make it into XSLT 2.0. 

I am sure there are plenty of solutions which don't need the node-set
thing, of course; it's just that it's fun...
