Is Saxon 7.0 the only XLST Engine that handles XSLT 2.0 ?

I've tried to give equal weight to existing XSLT 1.0 features and new
XSLT
2.0 features, though I haven't given very much space to 1.0 techniques
that
become obsolete in 2.0, like Muenchian grouping.

So the answer is, it's written for people who want to use XSLT 2.0,
whether
or not they have previously used XSLT 1.0. It's still useful if you only
want to use XSLT 1.0, but for that purpose the previous edition is
probably
better.
