All I really care about here is that there be a conformance level that is not a big conceptual stretch for XPath 1.0 users and not a burden for implementers. [FWIW, I'm not persuaded by the "it's just a bunch of 1-line functions, no big deal for implementers" argument. Each of those has to be put in a test suite, tested, regression tested regularly, documented, the documentation translated, the help desk trained upon, the XQUERY FOR DUMMIES readers who can't understand the subtleties supported, ad infinitum.]
