What lead you to this *wrong* conclusion? May be you were confused by 
section "XSLT 2.0 based reimplementation" which talks about completely 
different implementation of standard DocBook XSL stylesheets then is 
currently in use.

No.

"DocBook XSL Stylesheets

The DocBook stylesheets are written in a quite general way so that they 
have always been able to process content written in different versions 
of DocBook (for example 3.1 and 4.2). Recent versions of the stylesheets 
are also able to process DocBook V5.0 albeit with some limitations.

You can process DocBook V5.0 documents with the DocBook XSL stylesheets 
in exactly the same way as DocBook V4.x document. There is no need for a 
new special software, you can stick to you preferred XSLT processor, be 
it Saxon, xsltproc, Xalan or whatever else."

When I wrote Transition Guide I thought that it will provide answers to 
questions you are asking. Seems that I wrote it badly, or people are not 
reading it. :-(
