Re: function-available returns false

you may also find my very old EXLST support testing scripts useful

described here http://jimfuller.blogspot.com/2007/09/testing-exslt-support.html

or u can directly try in the browser

http://www.webcomposite.com/func-avail.xsl

sometimes, u need to repeat the call to this... for reasons I have not
quite figured out .... in any event these scripts were meant to be run
by XSLT processor.
