The error message says it all: the function you
need is not available in the XSLT processor you are using.

Consider the below XSL-FO stylesheet that can make the check you need.

I hope this helps.

~/y/samp $ xslt checkFor2.xsl checkFor2.xsl /dev/null

This stylesheet requires at least version 2.0 of XSLT to run.
