Just a minor note: it may be more helpful here to count the number of
different code bases. If I got it right, Saxon and Calabash (and
Servlex?) are based on the very same implementation. -- What do others
think?

To speed up the process, I would opt for a more liberal system.

We have written several JUnit tests for most of the implemented specifications..

  https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/tree/master/src/test/java/org/basex/test/query/func

..some of which could probably be adapted for general use.

Looking forward to everyone's opinions,
