Saxon availability
Available in XSLT 2.0 and later versions. Available in all Saxon editions.
Notes on the Saxon implementation
XPath 3.0 introduces the function function-lookup(), which returns null in
cases where function-available() would return false, but actually provides
access to the function in cases where function-available() would return true.
