The Saxon "packaging" was reorganized from release 9.2, which came out in
August 2009. You can find details of the repackaging here:
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/index.html#!changes/installation/9.1-9.2
I made the decision at that time to draw a clear line between what would be
available in the open source product - namely a high quality implementation of
the W3C standards at the minimum conformance level, with no extensions; and
what would be only available in commercial editions, namely features going
beyond basic conformance for extra performance or productivity. At the same
time I introduced the Saxon-PE product at the very modest price of £50 for a
single license or £1000 for a site license.
The change was very successful in securing a revenue stream to enable continued
investment in the Saxon technology. Without this, for example, Saxon-CE could
not have happened. I didn't want the product to go the way of libxslt, where
thousands of users were (and still are) getting great value from the product,
but none of this value was feeding back into improving the software.
Saxon-B 9.1 of course remains available for anyone who prefers things the way
they were before the change.

I don't see Saxon-B mentioned on the Saxonica website,
where I would expect it, i.e.:
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/about/historical.html
http://www.saxonica.com/feature-matrix.html
...however, it's on Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/files/Saxon-B/9.1.0.8/
For the current time, I only need the functionality of Saxon-HE,
but with the "evaluate()" extension function, which seems to be
disabled on Saxon-HE but not Saxon-B, 9.1.0.8.
Thanks,
Chris Wolf
