There are third-party XSLT 2 and 3 implementations (as well as XQuery)
- e.g. see https://www.xmlprime.com/xmlprime/ for one not often
mentioned on this list. Saxonica also has .net support.

That's only part of moving away from XSLT 1 of course.

In 1982 or so i had a holiday job with a UK CAD firm; i was told that
they had a customer in France who was considering their software and
decided to build two separate power plants, once using the old method
and one the new, to do an evaluation! They found a spare mainframe
computer they were not using and ran the project on it.
