Unless of course you do design a better language. I think RELAX NG 
and JDOM are proofs by example that when a W3C spec goes off the 
rails others can and will create better replacements.  I suspect this 
will happen with XSLT 2 as well as the implementers of XSLT 1 who've 
given up in disgust on XSLT 2 and XPath 2 begin to look for something 
interesting to do.
