As Mike Kay pointed out, extension attributes - e.g. saxon:memo-
function to mark that a function's result should not be cached -
something i tried to get into XQuery and failed :)

Although the annotations are static in XSLT, you could have a static
function that returned a function given as its argument, maybe, and
"taint" the returned function with the annotation that way? Or wrap the
body  of your dynamic function in a call to a static annotated function
which simply returns its argument.
