Abel, thanks for the pointer. You can find my full xsl and xml here:
http://documenta.rudolphina.org/available.xsl
http://documenta.rudolphina.org/available.xml
It shows the state of implementation for xslt elements and functions
in 7 categories:
    1 xslt instructions [shown when element-available() returns false()]
    2 xslt top-level-elements [shown when element-available() returns true()]
    3 xslt special-context-elements [shown when element-available()
returns true()]
    4 xslt functions [shown when function-available() returns false()]
    5 xpath functions [shown when function-available() returns false()]
    6 extension elements [shown when element-available() returns true()]
    7 extension functions [shown when function-available() returns true()]
Categories 2 and 3 are somewhat trivial and may be omited. To keep the
listing short, it shows only what cannot anticipated from the
standard: variations, additions etc. If you know of any extension not
listed in my xml, please tell me.

Cat. 7 from above works for me too, its only 4 and 5 which don't work
with Saxon 6.5.5!
