I don't know of any actual shared libraries for XSLT
Priscilla Walmsley's FunctX library falls into this category, I think.
So far as I can tell, FunctX for XSLT is a single XSLT 2.0 stylesheet defining
the functions which is downloaded as a stand-alone file.
That is to my mind somehow categorically different from something like the
node-js benchmarking library at https://github.com/bestiejs/benchmark.js.git
I think it's the absence of packaging -- there's no way to say "get me the
FunctX library" as some sort of abstract reference through a package management
mechanism -- and the absence of library dependency information as language
mechanisms that makes me think "that's really useful, but it's not a shared
library".
I could be falling into philosophical error, here. But to me it doesn't feel
like a library; I can have a stylesheet say "use this" via import or include,
but I can't manage any dependencies by a means other than calendar reminders to
go look at web pages.
