What you call "quite less risk" means "don't even think about it!" in an environment where XSLT is mission critical. XSLT 2.0 is: - not a stable published specification and may still change significantly - not widely implemented - incompatible with XSLT 1.0 in some subtle ways that make conversion of existing libraries risky I am not certain that my organization will EVER move to XSLT 2.0. We work with the type of data XSLT 1.0 was designed for (documents) and have been using it for quite a while, quite successfully. XSLT 2.0 looks to us like it was designed to meet significantly different needs and for different people working with significantly different types of data. While XSLT 2.0 may meet YOUR needs better than does XSLT 1.0, I do not think there is much benefit in it for me. And even if there were, this would certainly NOT be the time; not until it is final and widely supported.
