Hi,

I am reading the freshly published second Last Call of XSLT 3.0  --
Section 2.7 "Packages and Modules":
http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-xslt-30-20141002/#packages-and-modules

The bulleted list that details the ways packages (unlike modules)
achieve the goal of allowing separate compilation, has this bullet:

b" Allow multiple specializations of library components to coexist in
the same application.

It isn't immediately clear to me what exactly what is meant by
"multiple specializations of library components" and what
elements/attributes need to be used in order to define such multiple
specializations of library components. Where in the following sections
is this detailed?

I would greatly appreciate if someone, such as the Editor -- Dr. Kay
himself -- could explain what this bullet means.
