Re:  Definite list of XSLT 2.0 processors?
XSLT not present as single entity in LAMP too ;) XSLT is best tool to
convert XML data that you got from any database as XML and turn it
into XHTML, ODF, OOXML or any other XML (in most cases), so it just
similar case when you "call XSLT" from PHP, Perl and so on but best
"host language" for XSLT is XQuery

for example

let $param := (),
    $validation2schm := transform:transform(v:all-rules($department,
$period), doc("/db/service/form/validation2schematron.xsl"), $param),
    $schm2xsl := transform:transform($validation2schm,
doc("/db/service/schematron/iso_svrl_for_xslt2.xsl"), $param),
    $report := transform:transform($table, $schm2xsl, $param),...

just 3 lines of code for 3 xsl transformations ;)
