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?
