> The initial issue was: > Issue (user-functions-vs-vendor-functions): Should user-defined functions > override vendor-defined functions of the same name, as specified here, or > should it be the other way around? vendor should win. vendor functions should be in a vendor's namespace (or common, vendor shared like exslt). So users should not be defining functions in the vendor's namespace with different functionality. To do so is against the entire spirit of the namespace mechanism. However it is reasonable to "fake" the vendors function with a user defined function so the stylesheet is portable to other vendors, but for this to work the "real" vendor supplied function should run when the stylesheet runs on that system.
