XSLT 2.0 (like XSLT 1.0) does not define "compiled stylesheets". It
only deals with stylesheets written as source text.

So this question should properly be directed at a particular
implementation (if I am understanding you correctly).

    James> </xsl:transform>


    James> so libraries can be built up?

Yes.

This is a stylesheet (module) that has only built-in templates, and
so, if invoked as the principal stylesheet, will not call the
function.

But if included or imported into another stylesheet, then indeed the
function might be called from other templates.
