In theory, yes, but the version of the Saxon processor that is free 
is not schema-aware.  A conformant XSLT processor is allowed not to 
be schema-aware.

That last one is an important one for my work with OOo.  But I know 
the OOo team is working on a couple of issues I've submitted to 
improve how robust this is in real-world deployment.

Unfortunately not necessarily, as some writers of XML filters may 
have used Saxon extension functions rather than stick solely to the 
XPath function library.  These filters will not work when 
saxon9he.jar (the currently-available free version) is switched for 
the existing saxon9.jar (getting long in the tooth).

But I believe OOo only "advertised" support for XSLT 2, which means 
users going beyond that definition did so at their own risk.

I hope this is helpful.
