As far as I remember, more precise behaviour is the following.
Initialization is expected for every (imported or main) stylesheet which
has the corresponding "extension-element-prefixes".

Do you mean "once per the whole stylesheet"? I think it is not sufficient.

I have a chain of imported xslt-files that looks like:

-- [code]
<x:stylesheet extension-element-prefixes="myx" ...>

<myx:init>...</myx:init>

...

</x:stylesheet>
--- [/code]

When my xsltStyleExtInitFunction is activated, it looks for "myx:init" and
performs additional initialization for the corresponding xslt file. If the
function were called only once, I'd have problems to locate all "myx:init"
in all xslt files.
