Hi Michael, > There was therefore a high resistance to adding new > "nice to have" functions. As a comparison, there are 24 functions that implement time - date related functions, and 5 numeric functions: 10.5.1 fn:years-from-duration 10.5.2 fn:months-from-duration 10.5.3 fn:days-from-duration 10.5.4 fn:hours-from-duration 10.5.5 fn:minutes-from-duration 10.5.6 fn:seconds-from-duration 10.5.7 fn:year-from-dateTime 10.5.8 fn:month-from-dateTime 10.5.9 fn:day-from-dateTime 10.5.10 fn:hours-from-dateTime 10.5.11 fn:minutes-from-dateTime 10.5.12 fn:seconds-from-dateTime 10.5.13 fn:timezone-from-dateTime 10.5.14 fn:year-from-date 10.5.15 fn:month-from-date 10.5.16 fn:day-from-date 10.5.17 fn:timezone-from-date 10.5.18 fn:hours-from-time 10.5.19 fn:minutes-from-time 10.5.20 fn:seconds-from-time 10.5.21 fn:timezone-from-time 10.7.1 fn:adjust-dateTime-to-timezone 10.7.2 fn:adjust-date-to-timezone 10.7.3 fn:adjust-time-to-timezone 6.4.1 fn:abs 6.4.2 fn:ceiling 6.4.3 fn:floor 6.4.4 fn:round 6.4.5 fn:round-half-to-even I'm not saying that any of the time - date related functions are nice-to-have, maybe they are vital for somebody's use case, but I am saying that math functions are important, especially, in my use case, rounding as specified by the IEEE floating point standard. But since I don't hear anybody seconding the motion, that is my 2p. :-) Cheers, Peter
