Spec lists the following as reserved fn names.
attribute,comment,document-node,element,empty-sequence,if,item,node,processing-instruction,schema-attribute,schema-element,text,typeswitch
Does this mean that user can register other "unprefixed" xpath
functions [custom ones].
If No, okay.
If yes, quick, but naive Q.
What if user defined an unprefixed function named instruction(), or a
function named sequence()?
Lets say instruction() and sequence() functions return numerical values.
What would happen if the user performed the xpath on the following doc.
<numberOfTasks>
<processing>20</processing>
...
<empty>1</empty>
</numberOfTasks>
xslt
-------
<xsl:template match="numberOfTasks">
<netValue><xsl:value-of select="processing-instruction()"/></netValue>
<someValue><xsl:value-of select="empty-sequence()"/></someValue>
</xsl:template>
Whats the behaviour?
Should this be explicitly disallowed?
I'll close my eyes and wait :-) Someone's gonna use a sledgehammer on me :-)
