> Functional Programming at its most basic. except they still managed to miss out the most basic property of functional programming languages, the ability to manipulate functions as data. But yes I agree that having user defined functions will be a big win. (shame about the rest of xpath2 though:-) Probably I'd have written tokenize("January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December",",") as ("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December") which seems simpler although I note it's a few characters more.
