Wouldn't the easiest way to handle two levels of conformance be to simply create two different recommendations with two different namespaces? Sort of an XSLT 2.0 Schema Aware and an XSLT 2.0 Lite, the latter including some of the newer capabilities people crave such as multiple output processing but not otherwise really going much further than the current recommendation?
