I have a few hundred thousand lines of xsl 1.0 stylesheets. If I want to consider switching to an xsl 2 processor at some point (for example if the 1.0 processor stops being supported due to old age) then anything that increases the chance that the stylesheets work unchanged on the new processor is a good thing. When you are porting over a stylesheet to 2.0 and find that a 10 line funky Xpath that you don't really understand, but you found in the excellent xsl-faq at dpawson.co.uk fails to work, then you will appreciate being able to stick version="1.0" on that template and getting on with life rather than having to understand the Xpath well enough to rewrite it in a form that avoids Xpath2 type errors.
