Agreed, but what I think is important is that developers know and understand
what of those extenstions are not "standard" and therefore porting your XSL
may incur problems.
B.T.W some of the ideas in the latest MSXSL preview are excellent.

The XSLT extension mechanism is outlined in the spec and an example of
one was provided with James Clark's 11/99 XT implementation ... several of
the implementations have a few nits here and there, what we are talking
about is substantial compliance (modulo bugs) with full compliance as bugs
are reported and fixed.
In summary, XSLT extensions, provided through the extension mechanism,
do not prevent compliance with http://www.w3.org/tr/xslt .
