Yes, MS is not planning XSLT 2.0, at least not for now - they think that

That's old news. Current state is as follows - neither XSLT2 nor XQuery in next .NET framework. A subset of XQuery will be implemented in next SQL Server. That's it. Next .NET will include another XSLT1 processor, compiling XSLT into MSIL code and apparently very fast at run-time.


For the future I see a trend of extending C# to adopt XQuery/XSLT functionality instead of implementing them.
