I would go with a single table for now; not sure what to call it. My 
initial feedback was more about how to advertise what functions are 
available - so geoserver can report them as available etc.

There is one thing to check in the WFS specification; I am under the 
impression that server needs to report back a filter capabilities 
(including a function list). These capabilities may be for all feature 
types? Or hopefully on a feature type by feature type basis ... 
depending on what the specification says we may need to set up a change 
request for the OGC.
