However, my original requirement is also met by a deterministic solution, so I am content with what can be done with the current functionality of fn:random-number-generator() -- indeed it proves to be pretty nice. (Cryptography-level security is not necessary for my use case.) The lesson seems to be: the details matter. I am just wondering who the users are, who can always write their own random number generator, as Liam reports.
