The .zip is invalid, yes.

It may be because there are no XSLT or JavaScript-based implementations of
those functions. So, there's really nothing to download. Why it is even
offered for download, I don't know.

You have to see if the XSLT processor you are using supports those functions
natively, or maybe someone has created an add-on library that you can use.

This really seems to be the #1 problem with the exslt.org site -- not the
bogus .zip or confusing xsl:imports, but the fact that people instinctively
head straight for the downloads, skipping the crucial information that EXSLT
is first and foremost a set of APIs, quite a few of which are implemented
natively by the major XSLT processors, obviating the need to download any
slow, code-bloating, possibly outdated reference implementations.
