My feeling is that XSLT will be stronger and more useful if it doesn't try to do what XML Query tries to do. XSLT should assume that XML Query (with whatever PSVI-aware processing) will be successful and that both would be served better by a useful complimentarity of strengths.
One should always be able to pipeline queries and transformations, shouldn't one? Why does the whole kit need to be in one tool? Even admitting that their functionalities overlap. One can use a pair of pliers to turn a nut: but that doesn't make it a good wrench.
