   I'm not sure I fully understand your question.
The problem is that starting an implementation of a spec knowing you
don't have the tools to implement 100% of it is like jumping from a cliff
not knowing the depth of the water below :-\
Honnestly don't hold your breath for XSLT2/XPath2 support in libxslt/libxml2
this sounds a large effort also with big prerequisites.
