[libreoffice-documentation] Calc's ENCODEURL, FILTERXML and WEBSERVICE functions

[Steve Fanning]

I have finished updating the FILTERXML and WEBSERVICE wiki pages.

I hope that I have implemented the suggested changes satisfactorily. I 
think that I have addressed the spirit of all comments, although I 
changed the proposed detail in some cases.

Thanks again for the helpful comments. Please let me know if you are 
still unhappy with anything on any of the three pages.

Regards,

Steve
