These things could in principle be added by the author of Saxon, or of any other XSLT processor... I suspect there would be strong reistance to requiring that every XSLT implementation also implemented all of XML Query :-) The ability to do POST http transactions can be a security problem -- a program that can write more or less arbitrary text to any host on any port can be used to send email, for example. So this is not something I'd necessarily want in a browser-side XSLT implementation. I do agree that in a controlled environment they're all useful and interesting features, though. I suspect you can also do these already if you use Saxon's Java API, by the way.
