Oct 23, 2010 at 7:43 comment added Andrew Stacey Actually, it is relevant. Kriegl and Michor show that with the bornological approximation property, derivations are the same as the double dual. Thus reflexivity is a key property.
Oct 22, 2010 at 18:02 comment added Dick Palais True, but that is not relevant. Instead of your 2) what is relevant for the question asked is the space of point derivations at $0$ of the ring $\Gamma$ of germs of smooth functions at $0$, i.e., the linear maps of $\ell: \Gamma \to \mathbb R$ satisfying the derivation identity $\ell(fg) = \ell(f) g(0) + f(0) \ell(g)$.
