Well, actually there should be some more. You have for certain some parser from 
Altova, though I don't know the coverage. Also, MarkLogic Server have release 
XSLT 2.0 support since 4.2. And Google also returns some references to Oracle.

Saxon has a few limitations in the HE version, but to my knowledge only with 
regard to schema awareness.

I definitely think that supporting XSLT 2.0 helps gain interest. 2.0 is out for 
several years now. Once you have gotten the hang of 2.0, you don't like going 
back..

The point of another free/open source XSLT 2.0, next to Saxon would be good as 
well, but most importantly a fair bit has been done already. XSLT 1.0 relies on 
XPath 1.0, but since you have XQuery 1.0, you also have XPath 2.0 already 
available. Having XSLT 1.0 built on top of XPath 2.0 might even play some 
tricks on you.. (there are some subtle differences between XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 
behavior which I think are partly also present in XPath 1.0 v.s. 2.0)

Kind regards,
Geert

Currently, there is only one XSLT 2.0 processor, and that's Saxon.
The full set of XSLT 2.0 features are available only in the commercial
product, so a full open-source XSLT 2.0 would I think be welcomed.
In addition, a second source for an important standard is invaluable.
