There was a draft (still available from w3c site) but the working group
killed off work on xslt 1.1 to work on 2.0 (before they knew 2.0 was
going to take half a decade to align with xquery:-) A couple of xslt
systems (notably saxon 6.x do implement the 1.1 draft actually) but as
it will never be finalised now it's best to pretend that they don't.

No.
