Really sounds very easily automated to adjust function names in code.

I admit I didn't have to go through an upgrade process. I just started
writing xslt 2 templates and left my xslt 1.0 templates as they were.

I guess the only point of confusion was the number of text nodes returned

deep-text() or all-text-nodes(), something like that might have made
things more clear. Actually to be honest I don't care much about that.

It should though be easier to change things in a language if they are
really a source for misunderstanding from my viewpoint. Changing
something like a name moving from one version to another can't be that
problematic.
