2.0 is not final, but that has little to do with whether Sablotron
supports it.  I think it will be a long time before most of the open
processors support version 2.0, it they ever do.  It is just a big job
that many people are not interested in doing.  Saxon, however, is
supporting it.

But why wait?  There are several approaches to converting text to xml,
depending on what the source document is like.  In addition to writing a
program to create a tree of nodes, you could use SAX (writing your own
handler) to turn the text into an xml document, save it, and then feed
it to an xslt processor.
