No, given that the majority of processors and I think all web browsers only support 1.0.
Out of the people that put in the effort to reply to questions on the list, I think it's fair if they assume XSLT 2.0 if the OP hasn't been explicit.
Personally I plan to stick with 1.0 for the foreseeable future for most of my work unless maybe I need to do something that 2.0 makes a lot easier.
There are some "killer app" features of 2.0 that I use daily - the collection() function, xsl:result-document, xsl:for-each-group, the "xhtml" output method, temporary trees, strong typing, regular expressions....
Equally Saxon seems to be the fastest, most conformant processor, its platform independent and there's even a dotnet version, so its not sooo bad to tie yourself to 2.0.
I would suggest anyone planning on sticking to 1.0 for the forseeable future should move to 2.0 straight away - enjoy the massive productivity boost and get your work done early - you can always rewrite to 1.0 in future if you really had to, but its unlikely you ever would.
