We can define that syntax and semantics of the namespace apply only to the operands of cell-content-is-between() and such. cell-content-is-between(xx:Value1,xx:Value2) for the reason of the comma operator isn't practical. Some might also come up with funny constructs like cell-content-is-between(xx:Value1,yy:Value2) so we would have to inhibit that.
