They can implement a new function in an afternoon. It's the likes of Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle, for whom it takes a month. And it has to be said that the amount of WG time is also significant. I would estimate we spent about 500 hours of meeting time, either face-to-face or in telcons, discussing the 2.0 function library. That's probably 5 hours per function. There was therefore a high resistance to adding new "nice to have" functions. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
