            Bug ID: 26965
           Summary: [xslt 3.0] Undocumented incompatibility for
                    version="1.1"
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Working drafts
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XSLT 3.0
          Assignee: mike@saxonica.com

Stylesheets with version="1.1" are sometimes encountered in the wild (probably
because examples in my book used this value, as it went to press just before
XSLT 1.1 was cancelled).

XSLT 2.0 requires processors to treat such stylesheets as if version="1.0" were
specified (all values less than 2.0 are treated the same way).

XSLT 3.0 recommends that processors reject this value as a static error.

This is an incompatibility and should be recorded as such in the list of
incompatibilities.

(I'm not suggesting that we change the rule. It would be complicated. How would
we handle version="2.1"? That clearly has a different meaning to a 2.0
processor as to a 3.0 processor, by design.)
