The edm:Apply expression allows to specify functions that are applied on the client side.

It would be very helpful to define a standard set of common functions that all client libraries should implement.

Otherwise we end up with a tight coupling of clients and servers because the latter define com.microsoft.Concat and com.sap.Concat.
