An unexpected but nevertheless an interesting answer.
FWIW, From the first sentence of the Wikipedia writeup on XRX:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XRX_(web_application_architecture)
"In software development XRX is a web application architecture based on
XForms, REST and XQuery."
Not a mention of XSLT there so to challenge your response ...
Would it be reasonable to rephrase my question as:
"Given the neglect (i.e. XSLT 2 for XRX), does the XRX community really
want one?"
(Notwithstanding, and with no disrespect to, Saxon of course).

better served.
Absolutely. And even more so (a) the LAMP community, and (b) those who
want
to use XSLT client-side.
The problem of course is that (1) these communities expect everything to
be
free of charge to the end-user, but (2) no-one has an effective business
model for creating software that users are not prepared to pay for.
(Recruiting an army of volunteers may sometimes work, but it needs strong
leadership.)
Intel did have a standalone XSLT 1.0 product that you could purchase for
$150 or so, but I don't think that was a sustainable business model for
them, and they withdrew it. Saxonica can survive quite nicely selling a
few
hundred copies a year; Intel and IBM can't.
