I think it would be quite problematic to drop fn:matches-language-range. There is no other mechanism for correctly comparing language tags and ranges. It is not a simple string comparison. I agree that 'text-length' may be redundant. > > > These are functions that it appears the rdf:text spec defines, > but > > they are defined in the namespace that XQuery controls. So my The I18N working group intends to bring this issue to XQuery. However, if necessary, rdf:text should define the function, possibly in a different namespace from fn:.
