[Bug 29470] [xslt30] Polyfills

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29470

--- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
Suggested specification outline:

Rules for Polyfill functions

A polyfill is a user-written function in a reserved namespace
A polyfill SHOULD NOT be defined unless it implements a specification issued by
the authority for that namespace
A polyfill function MUST specify a value (yes or no) for the
override-extension-function attribute [which is interpreted as
override-vendor-function...]
Something about having package scope...
?Allow xsl:original

Notes

Valid reasons for using a polyfill include:

The vendor has not implemented the function (e.g. xs:dateTimeStamp)
The vendor's implementation of the function is non-conformant
The vendor's implementation of the function does not meet performance
requirements
The specification of the function leaves aspects implementation-dependent or
-defined, and this causes interoperability problems (e.g. the vendor's
implementation of normalize-unicode does not provide a required normalization
form)
