No, they don't even have to be in a file at all. A repository, a 
database, some web site, dynamic creation, in memory, as dom. You have 
plenty of options.

Mine are mostly in *.xslt files and in a repository (nameless), and *.fo 
for xsl-fo. However, it's all up to you whether you choose 'xxx' or 
'yyy' or 'santaclaus' as extension (or none at all).

From what I know: none whatsoever.

Huge differences, depending on what you mean by "handling". XSLT 2 
contains many new features and functions and makes a lot possible that 
previously was impossible (or very hard) in XSLT 1.
