I would like to attend as student and continue coding on XSLT 2.0

Because of that I can't be officially mentor, but I can do actual
mentoring if there will be some "official" mentor.

I don't think it is feasible. I expect that if DocBook transclusions are
accepted it will be in much simplified form from the actual proposal.
