FXPath v 0.2 - (User Defined Extension Functions)


Hi,
 
There's an updated version, v 0.2, of the FXPath document at:
 
http://www.pantor.com/fxpath/
 
In short:
 
FXPath - Functional XPath - is a language based on XPath. The purpose of
FXPath is to provide a language for writing extension functions in XSLT
stylesheets. The approach is to identify and define a small set of
extensions to XPath that:
  * covers a substantial part of the anticipated current need for user
    defined extension functions
  * can easily be implemented on top of current XPath 1.0 implementations.
 
Scope:
 
FXPath doesn't try to solve new advanced problems, like type handling, schema
handling and database queries. Instead, it tries to make everyday stylesheet
creation and maintenance a lot easier. This doesn't mean you cannot do
advanced things, just that the focus was on solving common problems in a
convenient way.
 
Changes from v 0.1 include:
 
    * Added Function Call Steps
    * Added tokenization rules
    * Clarified fx:function content
    * Fixed some typos (certainly added some new ones :-)
 
Cheers,
 
</David>
