you may also find my very old EXLST support testing scripts useful

described here http://jimfuller.blogspot.com/2007/09/testing-exslt-support.html

or u can directly try in the browser

http://www.webcomposite.com/func-avail.xsl

sometimes, u need to repeat the call to this... for reasons I have not
quite figured out .... in any event these scripts were meant to be run
by XSLT processor.

 Abel, thanks for the pointer. You can find my full xsl and xml here:
 http://documenta.rudolphina.org/available.xsl
 http://documenta.rudolphina.org/available.xml
 It shows the state of implementation for xslt elements and functions
 in 7 categories:
    1 xslt instructions [shown when element-available() returns false()]
    2 xslt top-level-elements [shown when element-available() returns true()]
    3 xslt special-context-elements [shown when element-available()
 returns true()]
    4 xslt functions [shown when function-available() returns false()]
    5 xpath functions [shown when function-available() returns false()]
    6 extension elements [shown when element-available() returns true()]
    7 extension functions [shown when function-available() returns true()]
 Categories 2 and 3 are somewhat trivial and may be omited. To keep the
 listing short, it shows only what cannot anticipated from the
 standard: variations, additions etc. If you know of any extension not
 listed in my xml, please tell me.

 Cat. 7 from above works for me too, its only 4 and 5 which don't work
 with Saxon 6.5.5!

 Manfred
