I feel, if XSLT 2.0 spec provides an accurate XML
schema for the language, it is a very useful thing. It
can server as a grammer checker for the XSLT
language(for e.g to XSLT processor writers). It would
also be very useful for providing intellisense support
in XSLT editors. I have named 2 uses.. There may be
more..
