Sorry it’s taken me so long to make this comment. I see that “XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators” has been updated (more than once I gather) since the XACML time functions were defined. I haven’t had time to look at the changes in detail.
Have you analyzed whether the changes solve or interact with any of the problems you are trying to solve? Is it possible for the new functions to reference both the old and new versions of XXFO? If not, it seems to me preferable to cite the latest versions of the W3C XML specs.

Submitter's message
This is the first draft of a proposal for additional functions, data-types and attributes for handling time of day and day of week in distributed environments where the choice of time zone is variable. It is written in the style of a profile, but without all the required boilerplate.
