I think that in many ways XSLT 2.0 is easier to learn than 1.0. There are so
many simple problems that involve convoluted workarounds to solve in 1.0,
where the 2.0 solution is straightforward. Many people coming new to 2.0,
for example, will have little need to learn how to write recursive code -
something that for many people is a big learning barrier.
