During our recent XQuery working group meeting we have closed an issue regarding what should be done if a numerical literal representing a float or double value is out of range for IEEE 754 values (positive and negative overflow or underflow). -------- RESOLUTION: Too big float/double values. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-query-wg/2005Feb/0084.html is rejected. No action required to 3.1.1. Schema says that one should map to the largest float or double value. -------- It does seem to me that this is an unfortunate choice in the Schema to just map a non-representable number into another number. Probably, other options should be allowed for an implementation, such raising an error and mapping to +/- INF. Sincerely, Daniel Engovatov.
