Meeting minutes

Function namespaces

Erik: There is a followup on XML Slack
… Liam and Mike Kaye are there.
… No big conclusion but one point
… in XPath 4, which people have been talking about since November
… there is a plan for more flexibility for exposing functions
… so there is now a default function namespace, and otherwise use a namespace
… proposal is to have a function resolver based on various factors.
… I simplify
… with some rules for resolution of names.
… we say a few things about resolving functions
… in XForms
… so maybe we could simplify if we use XPath 4
… Related idea: we have unprefixed XForms functions.
… in many programming languages, there is an import statement
… the user decides.
… We could make a case that we could prefix function calls.
… Maybe it would be good practice.

Steven: Something to watch in any case.

AOB

Steven: I had a death in the family this week, so was unable to do anything productive. Let's talk again next week.
