Great! And it certainly would be good to get to standard URIs for functions (not just java: :-) because the small details that can make interoperability hard. I've done strlen, substring (requested) and a few others and little things like having the same arguments (e.g. end index vs length of substring) just need argeement. Maybe collect sets of functions on the ESW wiki for now - that would provide a starting point for getting the same extension libraries on different implementations.
