Note: I'm not an expert on XACML. 

Sun's programmer guide doesn't say anything explicitly on the subject:
http://sunxacml.sourceforge.net/guide.html#extending-function

The standard's appendix section A14.14 seems to imply by omission that there is no special namespace for extension functions. Also, appendix B.3. XACML functions says the relative namespace is
"urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:function" and says further that this is "the base of all the identifiers in the table of functions". It says nothing special about extensions, which I would take to mean that the extension function URI is by default the concatenation of the above URI and your extension function name, but from Sun's code that doesn't appear to be right. 

Looking at Sun's sample bool-text-compare code, I would guess that the URI would be simply
"bool-text-compare".
