| What's the status of these?

Experimental, incomplete, pre-alpha, subject-to-change-at-will,
sorta-kinda-sometimes working :-)

| Are they available for download?

Only in CVS, under /xsl2 in the DocBook project at SF.net. And I'm
working on HTML before turning my hands to FO.

I've managed to code up the hardest extensions, for table column
widths and callouts, in xsl:function. At the moment there's just a
single extension function, for getting the intrinsic dimensions of an
image (necessary for scaling and client-side image maps).
