Their functionality can be achieved by extracting the relevant components from the rdf:text literal and then doing string comparison. > These are functions that it appears the rdf:text spec defines, but > they are defined in the namespace that XQuery controls. So my actually, strictly speaking the functions in the current version of the specification are not in any namespace, because the document does not define what "fn:" stands for. > suggestion was either to coordinate with them, or to remove the > definitions of these functions. This is actually a problem for all functions in section 4, not just the functions in section 4.3. I agree that we cannot just reuse the F&O namespace without coordinating with XPath/XQuery. I also do not really see any other namespace that would be suitable for these functions. So it is probably best to remove section 4, unless some last-minute coordination action is going to get underway (which I anyway doubt would be successful).
