Can't answer that because I never get to leave the country, but the text on the MS site says that at least the Tech Preview will "co-exist" with the old stuff. This means that the same server - for example - could support both. Obviously that doesn't help answer the question in relation to the long term. If it was me I wouldn't bother supporting both dialects - but then I'd probably be in court more often than them. The transformation of an 'XSL' stylesheet to an 'XSLT' stylesheet should be achievable with a single 'standard' XSLT stylesheet that MS will no doubt ship with the preview (won't they?)
