In the other xsl I pointed
https://github.com/ELSGestion/els-sie-xsl-lib/blob/master/src/main/xsl/nest-titles.xsl
I use a kind on “interface” pattern :

This common xsl module defines function which returns a fatal error
saying “please override me to define your case”

<xsl:function name="xslLib:nest-title.getDeepLevel" as="xs:integer">

   <xsl:param name="e" as="element()"/>

   <xsl:sequence select="-1"/>

   <xsl:message terminate="yes">[FATAL] Please implement an overriding
function for xslLib:nest-title.getDeepLevel() in your own XSLT</xsl:message>

</xsl:function>

That’s what the nest-html-titles.xsl does defining level for HTML titles :

<xsl:function name="xslLib:nest-title.getDeepLevel" as="xs:integer">

   <xsl:param name="e" as="element()"/>

   <xsl:variable name="deepLlevel" as="xs:string">

     <xsl:choose>

       <xsl:when test="matches(local-name($e), '^h\d+$')">

         <xsl:sequence select="substring-after(local-name($e), 'h')"/>

       </xsl:when>

       <xsl:otherwise>

         <xsl:value-of select="'-1'"/>

       </xsl:otherwise>

     </xsl:choose>

   </xsl:variable>

   <xsl:sequence select="$deepLlevel cast as xs:integer"/>

</xsl:function>

I could define any other XSLT for this kind of title grouping by just
importing the common module and overriding this function according to
the XML grammar of title to nest.

I like this pattern even if I’m not sure this is a good practice or is
used by others.

Any thought about it ?

In the context of XSLT 2 or 3 based on importing modules with xsl:import
it looks fine.

As you say you are also exploring new XSLT 3 features step by step, you
could exploring packages and make that function abstract in the base
package I think: https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#visibility
