ok, you're right, so stupid am I :-(
in fact, I misread the exslt howto where the following example 

<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="function-available('math:min')">
      <xsl:value-of select="math:min($values)" />
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:call-template name="math:min">
         <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="$values" />
      </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

makes me follow the wrong way...

so 

<result>
    <xsl:value-of select="math:power(2,5)"/>
</result>

works better !

Thanks Daniel, my problem of the day is solved, I can go back to
bed :-D
