I would be interested to hear more detail of what, specifically, you 
think has gone wrong with XQuery / XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0.

Why repeat it? I and others much more eloquent than me have shouted 
about this time and time again. It's obvious the working group is 
committed to going in the direction they're going, and is deaf to 
comments that challenge their fundamental assumptions, so the rest of 
us will have to blaze our own trails and compete rather than 
cooperate. May the best language win.

The phrase "given up in disgust" doesn't really convey much detail of 
what the stumbling blocks are perceived to be and what solutions 
might be appropriate (and what solutions might be possible).

Which XSLT 1.0 implementers have actually given up?

I recall Daniel Veillard mentioning that libxml won't be moving to 
XSLT 2 any time soon. Jaxen is also staying with XPath 1.0. JDOM and 
XOM are likely to remain XPath 1.0 only.

As far as I know only Saxon and Xalan have committed to XSLT 2.
