Re: [XPath] Consistency of Appendix A Grammar presentation for Functi onName

Ed, thanks for your last call comment.  It will be processed by the 
working group.

You make an interesting and valuable point that function names in the BNF 
need some sort of annotion spelling out the relation with reserved 
function names.  There may be some technical problems with the solution 
you suggest, but I'll see what can be done.
