Wasn't there someone who quite recently wanted to fork off Xalan, to work on
XSLT 2.0? It might be good to check out archives, perhaps group of like-minded
pioneers could see if "Xalan next-gen" could become reality...
(this just an outsider observation: I have not worked on Xalan codebase at all,
but can appreciate sizable effort that would entail...)
But I would also suggest that "just start coding" is not a bad approach. With
git-based projects, for example, that's sort of standard approach.
Trying to convince others of value is easier when there is some action to back
it up, beyond just hope & plans.
Just my 2c,
