RE: [office-formula] OFFICE-2164: EASTERSUNDAY

That would work just fine.  I'm happy to see that is already there.

The Java naming convention will work, so long as .-separated name segments
are not confused with anything else.  

I missed this in my last look at the draft.

Is there a convention for finding documentation on such extensions based on
the name (thinking of JavaDoc equivalents) or is that something that would
be a developed practice outside of the OpenFormula specification?

What is wrong with the existing mechanism described in the OpenFormula
draft of defining functions by an appropriate prefix, e.g.
ORG.GNUMERIC.GOODFRIDAY ?
