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>
