My understanding is "has to" because the version of Saxon that 
supports functions costs money, and I don't see OOo putting in 
anything that costs money.

If OOo stayed with saxon9.jar then any faults/improvements would not 
be addressed.

Temporary trees, imported stylesheets and modes ... though admittedly 
not nearly as convenient as "next-in-chain".

But using extensions at any time is risky.  I underscore that in my 
class.  I might start citing your predicament as another example of 
why.  I have three public classes coming up in the next three months 
and I'll see what students have to say about the situation in which 
you find yourself.
