<klotz> thanks nick having dialing troubler
<alain> http://betterform.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/aeronautical-information-services-ais-and-xforms/
<klotz> ebruchez are you joining?
<nick> John wants to write context-expr/eval($expr) but this isn't supported in xpath 1.0
<nick> you can't put a function in the middle of a location path when using xpath 1.0
<nick> this feature is added in XPath 2.0
<nick> so John wants eval-in-context($expr, context-expr)
a sort action needs to call something like compare(eval(keyExpr, firstElem), eval(keyExpr, secondElem))
caller of sort provides keyExpr = concat(last, first)
in xpath 2, write firstelem/eval(keyExpr)
but doesn't work between xpath 1 and xpat 2
<ebruchez> <xforms:function>
<ebruchez> sort(expression, comparator-function-name, etc.)
<ebruchez> sort(instance()/person, "my-comparator")
<ebruchez> <xforms:function name="my-comparator">
