Whoops. I just re-read the spec.  14.1 is about extension elements not
extension functions.  The xsl:extension-element-prefixes attribute (as it's
name implies) is required only when using extension elements.
exslt:node-set() is an extension function and therefore the
xsl:extension-element-prefixes attribute is not relevent.
