[Laszlo-user] More on namespaces and XML schema...

[Fennell, Philip]

Frisco,

For those features that are extensions to XPath, I think a new section
should be added to section 3 of 'Chapter 36. Data, XML, and Xpath' that
covers extensions to XPath.

Philip Fennell

I'm guessing that it's something we built ourselves to give our limited
XPath implementation some more usefulness. Only a guess.
