XPath 2.0 is not yet a W3C recommendation so currently there is not much 
support for XPath 2.0. It looks like you are trying to use an XPath 2.0 
function in an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet (why do you use version="1.0"?) and 
you use an XSLT processor that does not support the XPath 2.0 function 
ends-with.

The XPath 1.0 string functions are documented here:
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-String-Functions>

XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0 is what is currently supported by Microsoft 
products like MSXML 3, 4, 5, 6 and .NET XslTransform, 
XslCompiledTransform. There is also support for some extension functions 
but not for XPath 2.0 functions.
