As far as I know, no, but there are foo:script extension elements in several
major processors (Xalan, Saxon, MSXML, possibly others). The EXSLT version was
an attempt to unify them, IIRC. You can use element-available() to test for
them within a choose/when, or you can put the processor-dependent code in
separate stylesheets for each processor, and have those stylesheets import
the processor-independent code, then you just invoke the importing stylesheet
that is appopriate for the stylesheet you're using.
