right, and the nodes are now typed.

4.0 is not being developed "by the W3C"  but in a community group wih a
mailing list and wiki hosted by W3C. There is no longer a W3C XSLT
Working Group.

There are many more differences between the versions; each spec has a
Changes section, and Mike Kay's XSLT 2 book highlights some less
obvious changes.

But you have found many of the main changes i think.
