Re:  function-available returns false
When I compared your stylesheet with mine I found I had several
namespaces for EXSLT wrong! On the other hand I think you are missing
a extension-element-prefixes="exsl date func".

I have updated the file with a short description and because
its PI it can also be used directly with the browser.

Many thanks,

Manfred
