function-available() returns true for the extension functions
implemented in 6.5.5, is it that what you mean here?

The use case here is to get a quick reference which elements or
functions are not (jet) implemented and which extensions are available
in a certain version of an XSLT 1.0 processor (in a particular
browser).

It _is_ a cut down version (not enough I agree), but there is nothing wrong:
>   <dr:functions show="false">
>   <xsl:with-param name="show" select="@show='true'"/>
$show is set to boolean false(),
>   <xsl:if test="function-available(string(.))=$show">
so the test returns true() when function-available() returns false()
