I sent Dom my review of the LCWD of XQuery/XPath Functions & Operators. I hope it can be passed on the WGs (XSL and XQuery) quickly, as their Last Call deadline is approaching. The main problem I found with the checkpoints was on the notorious 9.6, about interoperable alternatives to extensions. Since F&O defines a set of functions, "extensions" would be additional functions. In general, there is no way to work around functions that deal with external objects. There is no way to anticipate all the functions that one could possibly implement. Fortunately, if the extra functions must be in a different namespace, then they aren't really extensions to F&O, because F&O doesn't claim to enumerate all the functions allowed in the host application. The WGs know that the host applications will add more functions in their own respective namespaces. .................David Marston
