Documentation for the XsltArgumentList.AddExtensionObject does dont specify the API of the object properly

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The extension object is called from the XSLT processor XslCompiledTransform, but the documentation misses important rules and behaviours.

It doesn't explain/define arguments well, it's assumed the example is sufficient.
Can complex types be passed in and out, Trees, or collections of nodes, or just scalars - what are the types ?
Critically It doesn't define and guarantee thread expectations. Will the XSLT processor call more than one function at once in different threads ?

The documentation of this feature is very poor.
