Depending on how the user's enviroment is set up, they might find it easier to supply "variables" through there own infrastructure, and use UDFs to provide them to Daffodil. I could also imagine them doing more questionable things, such as implementing a "getParseTimestamp" function. Not to mention all the crazy things that code/schema generators might want to spit out. Ultimately, I don't see any principled reason not to allow this. At most, we should emit a warning if we really think we want to call attention to people doing this. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
