You are right and I did try out the Xalan 2 extensions. Here is a snippet
of the XSL code just FYI.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl

<xsl:variable name="npath" select="." />
<xsl:value-of select="xalan:evaluate($npath)" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I think that almost all the Saxon built-in extension functions are written
to make use of internal Saxon interfaces, so they won't work with a
different processor.
But the good news is that Xalan-Java 2 has its own implementations of some
of the extension functions that were previously only in Saxon, for example
there appears to be a xalan:evaluate().
I think it should be possible, though I haven't proved it, to write your
stylesheet to use xx:evaluate(), and map xx to the Saxon extension function
in a <saxon:script> element (just introduced in Saxon 6.2), and to the
Xalan
extension function in <xalan:script>, so that the stylesheet works with
either processor.
