Hi Andy,

Has this situation changed with newer BaseX and Saxon releases?

No; I’m sorry. Maybe the Saxon API has stabilized in the meanwhile, so that
we can avoid rewriting the corresponding code again and again; would be
worth a try (PRs are welcome ;·). That’s also one of the reasons why we
haven’t implemented fn:transform so far: Chances are high that we would
need to give a lot of support for changes that we are not directly
responsible for.

Best,
Christian
