Saxon availability

Notes on the Saxon implementation

Available since Saxon 9.7.

XPath 4.0 introduces a 3-argument form of this function in which a default value can be supplied that is returned when $position is out of bounds, rather than this producing an error. This is implemented since Saxon 13.
