Rob,

Sorry about missing the meeting this morning!

I was on another machine and when I didn't see an agenda early this morning, I assumed there was no meeting.

On relevance of OpenFormula, would that be to XPath 2.0 and XQuery? (probably functions and operators)

Hope you are at the start of a great week!

Patrick

While writing up the minutes for today's call it hit me that I goofed on the discussion of the relevance of OpenFormula to the W3C's work. For some crazy reason I mentioned XSLT as relevant. This is not really true.

The relevant connection would be to XPath, which has a "core function library", which could be supplemented:

XForms, for example, keeps the basic syntax of XPath but supplements it with additional functions:

OpenFormula (at least the function library) could be a another source of extension functions.
