All C-guys are scary ;-)

I can't code, but I will gladly discuss different implementation approaches, 
interpreting the specs, performance stuff, and so on. So, I'll drop into 
discussions on 2.0 stuff if it isn't too tied to libxml2 internals.

I think implementing XSL-T 2.0 starts at implementing XPath 2.0, because 
that's the most intrusive part. The differences between XSL-T 1.0 & 2.0 
aren't that invasive, while XPath 2.0 carries a whole new data model and a 
type system.
