Re: xsltproc/LibXSLT - non-compliance?

That is not at all clear to me.
The wording of these things is a lot tighter in xpath2 so it's clearer
to be definite there, but in xslt 1, then it is not the case that
. (evaluating to a node) matches the description
"The argument must evaluate to a string that is a QName."

The xpath1 string functions that take strings also take a
node set, in which case the string value of the first node in document
order is taken, but that is (I think) a feature of the function, rather
than a general calling rule, the rule is given in section 4.2 of the
xpath spec, but the definition of function-available in the xslt spec
does not reference that section explictly or implictly (as it could have
done by using the defined term "string function").
