For what it's worth, I believe it's not an unreasonable timeframe. I would 
even estimate at least a year.

It all also depends on what kind of implementation you want. One of the 
advantages of XSL-T 2.0 is the presence of a type system and a different 
error handling, which allows more optimizations and better detection of 
errors at compile time. But all that do of course need more infrastructure, 
and hence more work.
