Jim,

What an idea! Then it would no longer be necessary to try to put together a position
paper on the benefits of higher-order functions and to try to convince the xf:
(XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators) and XPath 2.0 Data Model authors that XPath
needs higher-order functions and should not be polluted with unnecessary constructs
instead.

I've been reading a Haskell introduction for a while and am really considering
moving to it.

Or why not do it the other way around -- use Haskell as the new XPath? This is just
a single extension function away... and let other people, who have more time, argue
with editors of W3 groups...

:o))

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
