Michael, thanks for the estimations, it definitely helps to know when to
expect the upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 by implementors, 
so that we can at least
upgrade our knowledge to the new versions on the side.

To Abel I would like
to recommend a community edited - Wiki style site that would showcase the
differences between XSLT/XPath1.0 and 2.0. 
Ofcourse, any recommendations on
this thread are welcome too.

There have been quite a few software suppliers telling their users
this kind
of thing.

Of course it's partly true, and it's partly an excuse:
that is to say, they
could have started implementing XSLT 2.0 long before it
became a
recommendation if they chose to. So it will be interesting to see how
many
of these people now start implementing the new specification, and how
many
of them find another excuse.

For someone starting today, if they are
reasonably competent, I would expect
them to have an 80% implementation within
a year and a 100% implementation
within two years.
