While this is a step in the right direction, the new heading sounds ...
strange.
The right solution is to have:
Math Functions
Exponential
Trigonometric
Or, even better:
Math Functions and Constants
Constants
Functions
Exponential
Trigonometric
While it is possible, presenting pi as a function seems weird and unnatural.
Following this path we should have:
math:one()
math:zero()
math:two()
math:e()
math:pi()
math:ten()
Then, the next step would be to forbid writing:1, 0, 2, 10, or considering this
unnatural.
Going in this direction would be considered wrong by most programmers and may
hurt the serious adoption of XPath, XQuery and XSLT.
