Does that give me a way to use the same definition in multiple XPath

Yes, just have in a separate my.xpath file a map from the names of
the functions to their corresponding function items.
Then in XSLT read the my.xpath file and define a variable that gets
this evaluated, using the <xsl:evaluate> instruction.
Exactly as done in the Balisage paper I quated somewhere at the start
of this thread.
And a great light dawns about why maps are worth another fundamental
type! (Wasn't seeing what they did that you couldn't do with an XML
structure.)
Thank you; I shall have to try to comprehend that article.
