I don't implement XSLT 2.0 (I'm sticked to 1.0) so I'll express my oppinion about this list for
XSLT 1.0

1) XML
 - a must. But for the start, a tutorial might be enough.
2) XML Names
 - a must. But still, for the start, a tutorial might be enough.
3) XML Schema
 - not a must. May be totally skipped in the beginning.
4) XPath Data Model
 - of course, a must
5) XPath
 - a must
6) XPath/XQuery functions and operators
 - XQuery... who needs XQuery when is implementing XSLT?
5) XSLT
 - also a must
6) XSLT/XQuery serialization
 - this has nothing to do with XPath 1.0/XSLT 1.0. In fact, parts of it are included in XSLT 1.0
spec
