That the Funtions and Operators specification is larger than the XSLT 1
specification was, although it would make more sense to compare with
XPath 1.

This is for three main reasons.

First, the language has been made much more precise.

Second, the XPath language has grown considerably

Third, there's a much higher proportion of helpful explanatory text,
including section introductions, an explanation of regular expression
syntax, a great many examples, and more.

This is not a bad thing.
