I don't see it as different to format-number really. Not putting it in xpath meant that it didn't go into xquery which meant a few weeks after Xquery the WGs are in the strange position of publishing a requirements document for xquery 1.1 that says: http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-11-requirements/ XQuery 1.1 MUST include additional library functions or an equivalent mechanism to perform formatting of date and time values. It SHOULD be similar to the functionality provided in XSLT 2.0, such as by functions format-date(), format-time(), format-dateTime(). If they meet that requirement by doing anything other than adding format-* to the F+O spec shared by XPath and Xquery, and taking it out if XSLT, they need their heads banging tgether:-) David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
