The bottom line is that named templates and functions are essentially
the same thing and it would have been possible for XSLT 2.0 to do
away with either xsl:call-template or xsl:function.


They probably look similar, but IMHO both are useful members of XSLT
2.0. As you also said, xsl:function can be called from within an XPath
expression (and, this is a very important difference) while
xsl:template cannot be.

I feel, having xsl:template in XSLT 2.0 is very important, for XSLT
2.0 to be backward compatible with XSLT 1.0.

And of course, xsl:function is really beneficial, as also stated by
others in this thread.
