I do not believe the measurement of the value of an XSLT processor is in
the support of a proprietary extension.
XT is just fine for many people. Personally, I use the key() function
quite a bit so for that reason I am obliged to use other processors for
some of my more recent work, but I still have faith in the use of XT for a
lot of my production work where I don't need that function.
I feel your implications of needing to support proprietary extensions may
be misleading to those new to the technology.
