Hi Mike,
  Thanks for further educating me.

Depends what you count as "able to do something". For example, a named
template can declare default values for parameters. Does that count?

Yes, that's the difference which is significant for me. So I guess, this is the only difference between named template & xsl:function? I am not considering syntactic differences.

Yes, you can:

<xsl:template match="/">
 <result>
   <xsl:sequence select="xx:dummy-func()"/>
 </result>
</xsl:template>

Thanks for telling this to me. So for me, this difference does not exist any more..
