Does it mean that XPath will be extended to be able to
declare inline functions?

Final decision not yet made, but I think that is the likely outcome.

Even if they don't, in many cases one can use functions that dynamically create other functions. :)

Personally, I would remove everything except inline functions from "higher order functions". They provide minimal and sufficient means to achieve the goal. Redundant but equal ways to express the same idea just add more decision points in programming.
