correct - that's what the xforms 1.1 seconds-from-dateTime should
return. It doesn't extract the seconds part of the dateTime value but
computes the seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z (1).

minutes-from-dateTime(xs:dateTime(time))}

hmm - i'm not sure... regarding minutes-from-dateTime, there's no
XForms 1.1 function with the same name, so it seems that the XForms
functions take precedence if there's a name conflict, but the XPath
functions are still available. So, the next question would be how to
persuade the XForms processor to handle seconds-from-dateTime as XPath
function...
