Yes.

This is a stylesheet (module) that has only built-in templates, and
so, if invoked as the principal stylesheet, will not call the
function.

But if included or imported into another stylesheet, then indeed the
function might be called from other templates.

I think James is asking here if the above stylesheet can be a part of
a *compiled* library.

A while ago I asked this question in relation to Saxon's (8.x)
stylesheet compilation feature. The answer by Mike Kay was that only a
main stylesheet module (and all the modules it imports/includes) can
be invoked from a compiled stylesheet.

This is obviously a negative answer.

What is necessary is something like:

   <saxon:include-compiled-module href="libraryModuleURL"/>
