All processors do static analysis of the stylesheet and XPath
expressions before execution, but there is an explicit statement in the
spec (14.2) that the processor must not report an error for an unknown
extension function unless it is actually executed. Your evidence is
suggesting that Oracle has a bug (or non-conformance).
