I'm not sure how important this really is.  I too was disappointed at 
the lack of flexibility with registerPHPFunctions, but it was hard to 
be too upset about it because for us, the decision to use XSL as a 
template is an acknowledgment of standards and registerPHPFunctions is

not standard...  

What we've done, if the value can't be passed as a parameter using 
XSLTProcessor::setParameter() is created a class with a bunch of 
static methods which are then called using something like this:

php:function('XSL::<function name>',0)

If objects need to be instantiated, that work is done inside of those 
respective methods -- not throughout the XSL.  The approach here has 
the added benefit of being able to periodically scrutinize what others

on the team  are wanting access to within the XSL and make adjustments

for security, performance, etc.

YMMV

Description:
------------
XSLTProcessor::registerPHPFunctions() has very limited use. It is only
possible to register static callable functions.

Some nicer API would be:
$xslt = new XSLTProcessor()
$xslt->registerPHPFunctions(array(
        'func1' => 'functionblah',
        'func2' => array('class', 'method'),
        'func3' => array($obj, 'method') // this would be the real advantage
));

Or even better:
$xslt->registerPHPFunction('func1', 'functionblah');
$xslt->registerPHPFunction('func2', array('class', 'method'));
$xslt->registerPHPFunction('func3', array($obj, 'method'));
$xslt->removePHPFunction('func1');

This would be similar to the set/get/removeParameter-API....

btw.: Your CAPCHA only works with cookies enabled, that really sucks.

Reproduce code:
---------------
None, not possible

Expected result:
----------------
Be able to have instance-methods as callbacks for the XSLTProcessor.
(Note: Not global accessibly objects)

Actual result:
--------------
Not possible
