Yes, the specification of XSLT 2.0 demands that, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#xpath-dynamic-context, which says: "A number of functions specified in [Functions and Operators] are defined to be stable FO, meaning that if they are called twice during the same execution scopeFO, with the same arguments, then they return the same results (see Section 1.7 TerminologyFO). In XSLT, the execution of a stylesheet defines the execution scope. This means, for example, that if the function current-dateTimeFO is called repeatedly during a transformation, it produces the same result each time. "
