- got extension functions working from freemarker with namespaces. there's still the caveat that you need to use the ftl tag to include the alfresco namespace if you're using extension functions and want the file name from getXMLDocuments, but other than that it's pretty much exactly what i wanted and mimics the xsl environment perfectly.

- beginning slowly to move to new and hopefully finalized terminology.
