Mark, You can write custom functions via the XML-RPC interface. You won't be able to call them from the XML:DB API, but you CAN call them directly via XML-RPC. The only downside is you would have to run the build process each time you added a new extension. I have been working on a system outside of the current CVS tree (mostly because it does not support Xindice in embedded mode) that is similar to the way XMLObjects worked in 1.0, but less complicated and does not require you to run the build. It also allows for restrictions such as 'run from localhost only' and 'require SSL protocol' as execution options for example. Let me know if this sounds interesting to you...
