math:sqrt is incorrectly listed in section 4.7 "Trigonometric functions"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-11/#func-sqrt.

It is well-known that the sqrt() function is in the clas of exponential
functions -- x^a, where a = 1/2.

Therefore, this function should not be listed under "trigonometric functions.
