XSLT 2.0 and XQuery both provide the ability to write your own functions,
and as DC showed, this one can be written as a simple composition of two
functions in the core library. The WG has been trying to keep the number of
functions down to a minimum, and anything that can be constructed so easily
from existing functions tends to get short shrift. (With a few exceptions
like exists() and empty(), of course...)
