Doe Xalan make any promises about how many times it calls extensions functions written in Java? For instance, if I call Math.random() ten times in a stylesheet, will Xalan *promise* to return ten different values? Or might it optimize the ten calls down to a single one?

Similarly does Xalan make any promises about the order in which it will invoke different extensions functions?

I suspect the answer is No to both questions. However, in my experiments, its behavior does seem a little more predictable. I wonder if this is deliberate?
