Hello Jody, Many thanks for this. It looks great.
I have a question that is peripheral to the tutorial, and that I know we've gone over in the past: what is the valid use of a fallback value with filter functions ? The Symbology Encoding spec says: "The value of the fallbackValue attribute is used as a default value, if the SE implementation does not support the function. If the implementation supports the function, then the result value is determined by executing the function." In that case, a function shouldn't even have a fallback value field should it ? I remember struggling with this when helping to do the "env" function. If you look at the code for EnvFunction you'll see that a "default" value can be supplied as an optional extra arg to the evaluate method (this was Andrea's suggestion for how to have a default while not violating the spec). If the setFallbackValue is called an warning is logged. Sorry that this is banal feedback on a nice tutorial - but it's so good to have a teaching page about filter functions at last so I think it's worth checking that it's squeaky clean.
