Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3042) Planning for futurefunctions / User-defined functions
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3042?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=21872#action_21872 ]
Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-3042:
-----------------------------------------
I don't understand the last sentence in the new proposed 5.7.1. What is an evaluator-unique function and why is that excluded from using a unique prefix of the same kind as implementation-defined functions under the authority of the evaluator (?). How should it be unambiguously differentiated then?

> CD05 indicates that functions that are not part of the spec should be written out using a prefix (com.microsoft...). This causes problems with user-defined functions as well as future functions to be defined later. There has been discussion about adding the "User." prefix to user-defined functions, but how do future functions fit in?
> Assuming that a new function is added in ODF-Next, implementers of ODF 1.2 may read a future file and encounter one of these future functions. It will be unclear how to treat the future function without some designation. We want to avoid future functions being tagged with "User."
