 XSL processor version detection stylesheet with XSLT 2
The XSL processor detection stylesheet [1] referred to from the XSL-List
Guidelines predates XSLT 2.0 by several years, so it doesn't use the
additional system properties defined in XSLT 2.0 [2].  It also omits the
'xsl:version' system property, which at the time had only one possible
value.

The version below uses all the system properties defined in XSLT 2.0:
