I like this from XSL-List by David Carlisle:
XSLT 2 appears to be based on user concerns and problems.
Apart from this character encoding feature (which is also useful in non xml outout, eg outputting TeX commands in text output) It also has a lot of help for grouping and of course user xslt defined portable extension functions.
If only the same could be said for Xpath2....
