I'm mostly interested in math functions:
https://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation/functions/math/

For example, the documentation for math:sqrt() says "Available in
XPath 3.0, XSLT 3.0, XQuery 3.0, and later versions. From Saxon 9.6,
available in all editions."

However, after switching to 10.0 I get " XPST0017: Cannot find a
1-argument function named Q{http://exslt.org/math}sqrt()".
