Saxon availability
Requires Saxon-PE or Saxon-EE. Available for Java and C/C++ only (not .NET).
Notes on the Saxon implementation
The function is implemented, but it doesn't work well: since it is not a pure function, Saxon sometimes optimizes it so that successive calls all return the same value. The random:random-sequence() function is preferable.
