SD,

The answer is easy: because there is no minutes-from-dateTime() in the XForms function library ;)

BTW the XForms Working Group has agreed this week that this is an issue, and for the official XPath 2.0 support in XForms 1.2, it has been decided to remove the XForms version of seconds-from-dateTime().

The rationale is that this function was to help with date comparison. Since date comparison is built into XPath 2.0, the use case for it has disappeared.

Since probably nobody is using the XForms version of this function, we have now moved it to xforms:seconds-from-dateTIme():

Erik,

I agree with you, the XPath function is better. I'm wondering as to why only
seconds-from-dateTime() is triggered via XForms 1.0 or 1.1 while
minutes-from-dateTime() still triggers the XPath 2.0 function.
