Custom XPath functions in XForms

Could we put custom XPath functions back on the agenda?

There is a proposal here
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/Custom_XPath_functions

I hope that we can come to an consensus on this feature, if so I would be glad to add it to the XForms specification.

The current proposal only allows you to create side-efect-free functions, what is a good thing I think. I know that some people want something like custom actions, but if we implement  Custom event context [1] you can do this by writing a handler and provide the parameters as custom event context.

Kind regards,
