So, this library, somehow replaces any/some/all of the extensions
provided by MSXML, XALAN, SAXON, and other interpreters? 

Not really. FXSL is a library of routines _written in_ XSLT (1.0 +
node-set extension) so it may or may not offer some functioanlity that
overlaps with some extension functions but there is a big difference
between writing a program _in_ a language and extending the language
itself, even if the two things do the same job in a few cases.

Meaning that is pure XSLT 2.0, the interpreters that stack to XSLT 1.0
wouldn't be capable of run them?

Dimitre has recently provided a second version of the library which uses
XSLT2, clearly a program written in XSLT2 won't normally run in an XSLT1
system. Of course XSLT2 is only a draft at present.
