[xsl] Unknown system function escape-uri()

[Tim Lebo <timleboxslt@xxxxxxxxx>]

xsl-list,

I am attempting to retrieve a document from a URL with the following
script and saxonhe9-2-0-3j.jar
I have done this before with URLs that do not contain characters such
as {*+ etc.

I am getting the error:

Error at xsl:variable on line 14 column 108 of page2.xsl:
  XPST0017: XPath syntax error at char 68 on line 14 in {...+named url
file*.xml',false...}:
    Unknown system function escape-uri()


I am surprised, because I use xpath functions very frequently, and I
am staring at the listing on page 773 of Michael Kay's XSLT 2.0 3rd
ed.
Could anyone suggest a remedy?

Regards,
Tim Lebo
