For example, because  xsl:for-each could not be replaced with 
xsl:apply-templates in the situation when XSLT stylesheet is 
invoked in a 'HTML-templatish' ( *very handy* ) mode. 

( When root element of the stylesheet is  
<html xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> )

XSLT is a mix of many different technologies and my prediction is 
that  XSLT as we know it at the moment is not the end of the story.

Verbosity, lack of streaming, lack of 'updatable variables' ( even 
masqueraded with xt:node-set ) and some other issues will never 
disappear.
