Kai -- You'll usually get better support if you send this mail to the mailing list. Current versions of XalanJ use "lazy evaluation" of variables. The chances are that voidMethod won't get called unless $foo is referenced somewhere since evaluation is postponed until the time that the variable is referenced.
I don't really have a preference as to how you invoke an extension function with a void return value. Any way that works seems fine to me.
