1.0 and 2.0 and suitability for tasks

Which made me wonder which tasks are best suited to XSTL 1.0 and which are 
best suited to 2.0.

My position involves a blend of both documentation (everything from user 
guides to API guides and data dictionaries and the XSLT-based solutions to 
produce them) and data (lots of transformation of data-centric XML). So I 
would like to hear how one version or the other might benefit either 
effort.

Thanks.
