The easiest solution seems to add an additional

  fn:matches-language-range-basic

That does only basic lang-range-matching, but wait, wouldn't that be 
superfluous anyways... isnt't basic lang matching just

$range = "*" =boils down to=> fn:lang-from-text($arg is not empty

and otherwise just

$range = "XYZ" =boils down to=> fn:lang-from-text($arg) == "XYZ"

?
