RE: binary-or

I think this does what you want, though I didn't try all your test data.
It's not recursive - if that makes any difference.

<xsl:template name="or">
	<xsl:param name="operand1" select="''"/>
	<xsl:param name="operand2" select="''"/>
	<xsl:variable name="result1">
		<!-- would just return this if we didn't need to do the zero
padding -->
		<xsl:value-of select="translate(string(number($operand1) +
number($operand2)), '2', '1')"/>
	</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="string-length($operand1) >
string-length($operand2)">
			<xsl:value-of
select="concat(substring($operand1,1,(string-length($operand1) -
string-length($result1))),$result1)"/>
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
			<xsl:value-of
select="concat(substring($operand2,1,(string-length($operand2) -
string-length($result1))),$result1)"/>
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

With some thought the xsl:choose could probable be improved.
