Surely the existing XSL processors separate out the parser engine, and 
do not care what it is so long as it delivers a document tree? the XSL
parser and applicator itself, of course, will remain untouched. I
really don't think its that unlikely that someone would fit an SGML
parser to an XSL engine during the course of the next year

Actually, I suspect that what we'll see is people who need to stay in
SGML archivally and for special applications will add an SGML->XML
process in their filter chain, and start to use XML tools....
