  Yes, for standard Java stuff.  But if the extension is a complex Java
code using Saxon-specific feature (for instance to get any information
from the XPath context, like a node, or to create an element as the
result,) the code would be able to detect and deal with multiple
implementations.  Instead of being able to provide just several
implementations, one for each product, each in its own package, but
bound to the same namespace URI.
