Do you mean saying that in the spec?

I'm not sure about that. This works if you just dump the DB to RDF. It doesn't work if you want to SPARQL the output, because the function has to be available to the SPARQL engine (which is part of the R2RML processor).

If it runs after the mapping, then it's outside of the R2RML implementation, so why talk about it in the spec.
