WD-xsl was based on a Dec 1998 working draft from W3C. As a working draft, it had lots of holes. Microsoft basically left out the bits that were incompletely specified or unimplementable, and added features that they thought were needed to make a usable language. I don't think it was quick and dirty, it was their best attempt to make something usable out of an unfinished draft specification. In my opinion, though, they were very unwise ever to let it get out of the door as anything other than a technology preview.
