No. Saxon 7 is experimental implementation of XSLT 2.0.

It is little bit faster on some operations, but I think it doesn't
support EXSLT extensions which are used for some fancy things in DocBook
XSL stylesheets.
I would stay with Saxon 6.5.1. Even its author recommends it. Citation
from http://saxon.sf.net:
Saxon 6.5.1
The currently recommended version of the full Saxon product.
