No, I think the documentation isn't very clear on the entire subject of extension functions. So far as I can tell, Xalan-J doesn't seem to have built-in knowledge of the existence of the NodeInfo extension functions. I was able to use them by treating them like ordinary Java extension functions by using the namespace declaration xmlns:nodeinfo="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/java/org.apache.xalan.lib.NodeInfo";. I hope that helps.
