I think it would be very nice if someone set up a namespace for experimental
extension elements and functions with some simple rules:
* Anyone can define a function and register it in this namespace provided
that
- the name is not already registered
- they provide a clear specification of what the function does
- the function is intrinsically portable (i.e. it is theoretically capable
of being
implemented on any processor or any platform)
- the function is free of side-effects
- there is a four-week period for comments and discussion before the spec
is frozen
- the person registering the function provides open source
implementation(s) that work with at least one processor
- there is an opportunity for other people to provide implementation(s)
for other processors.
