Yes, the specification of XSLT 2.0 demands that, see 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#xpath-dynamic-context, which says:
  "A number of functions specified in [Functions and Operators] are 
defined to be stable  FO, meaning that if they are called twice during 
the same execution scopeFO, with the same arguments, then they return 
the same results (see  Section 1.7 TerminologyFO). In XSLT, the 
execution of a stylesheet defines the execution scope. This means, for 
example, that if the function  current-dateTimeFO  is called repeatedly 
during a transformation, it produces the same result each time. "
