deep-text() or all-text-nodes(), something like that might have made things more clear. Actually to be honest I don't care much about that.
would you also change node() and element() and attribute() which all work the same way and also have a "singular" name?
It should though be easier to change things in a language if they are really a source for misunderstanding from my viewpoint. Changing something like a name moving from one version to another can't be that problematic.
I really disagree here. The vast majority of XSLT 1 stylesheets work unchanged on XSLT 2 systems so you can flip between systems when necessary or share "utility" stylesheets that are imported into xslt1 and xslt2 stylesheets. Breaking that functionality just for a name change (even if the change itself wasn't highly dubious) would be a really bad step.
HTML has remained popular not least because a current browser can still run "html 1" documents from 1998, it doesn't have separate modes for every version. (well if we avoid mentioning IE :-)
