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.]
