It sure would be handy to be able to define functions that can be used in step expressions via XSLT 2. Specifically, I'm thinking of things that control p:choose alternatives. My use case is simply calculating the type URIs for an RDFa typeof attribute. I want to process a document differently depending on an RDFa typeof attribute. The type value is a resolved by a number of operations that neatly fit into an XSLT function definition. Right now I have to wrap this in an p:xslt step that outputs a coded document that I can use the p:choose step. If I just had the function available, I could run it directly. The feature could only be available if an implementation supported XSLT 2.
