Yes. This is correct. php:functionString() allows you to pass
arbitrary elements to a function. This can be a text node, (as in your
example above), or even an entire set of element nodes. For example:

<xsl:value-of select="php:functionString('myDate', //date")/>

myDate is some userland function that iterates through an array of
//date nodes using DOM, does something on them, and returns a
value. If I was more awake, I'd give you a better example, but you get
the picture.
