These two XSLT extension functions (see 
http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/5.0/apidocs/Ext-10.html#xdmp:current-last 
and following) are, like standard XSLT current(), nice conveniences that 
eliminate the need to declare an extra variable in order to do 
comparisons within an XPath predicate. (The example code in the docs 
doesn't make this clear, however, as last() and position() would do just 
as well there.)

Does anyone know whether they have been proposed as standard functions 
for a future release of XSLT? (No mention of them in the latest working 
draft at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/.)
