Description Pat Case 2006-10-02 20:04:34 UTC
We are not agreed that we have met the extensibility requirement in the FT Requirements document:

4.2.2 XQuery/XPath Full-Text Extensibility
XQuery/XPath Full-Text MUST use the extensibility mechanisms that exist in XQuery and XPath for it's own extensibility.

The spec is silent on this and we should add language.

It might be as simple as: 
XQuery Full-Text is extensible by the same mechanisms (extension expressions, pragmas, user-defined functions)that XQuery 1.0 is extensible [XQuery 1.0 3.14 Extensibility Expressions]. XPath is not extensible, but XPath Full-Text may be extendable via its host languages.

Or we may want to say/do more:
We may have extensibility on the level of XQuery expressions, but do we 
have extensibility on the level of the FT operators, the operators that 
operate on AllMatches instances?

Extension options and selection pragmas added to grammar.
Added descriptive text to go along with that 2007-04-19.
Comment 2 Pat Case 2007-04-20 15:13:45 UTC
Added match options extensions as 3.3.8 Extension Option and ft selection extentions (pragmas, extension selections) as 3.8 Extension Selections.
