Shouldn't it be possible to implement nearly all of EXSLT for XSLT 2.0
using xsl:function? (After all, a prominent reason for excluding
functions from XPath 2.0 is if they can be coded with xsl:function.)

In which case, XSLT 2.0 processors can become backwards-compatible
with EXSLT simply by importing a stylesheet with all the definitions
in (perhaps one stylesheet for the date library, etc. and one for
importing all the libraries).
