You need to tell us which product you're using. The rules for binding
extension functions to Java methods are not defined in the XSLT 1.0
specification, they depend on the vendor. Many vendors implement something
close to the bindings described in the XSLT 1.1 working draft, but probably
none of them conform exactly: and looking at your example, I'm not sure even
the XSLT 1.1 spec discriminates between these two cases.
