This assertion was discussed at the CSS WG F2F in Beijing. It was
decided that tests need to test some boundaries that were reasonable. In
the case of integer it was easy enough to find the definition of integer
in the C Language Specification. Though I am not going to put up much of
a battle for the exact number defined in the test case I will put up the
question "How do we test that the boundaries are supported correctly for
<integers>, <numbers> and <lengths>?". This must be defined or the spec
is untestable for all scenarios. (...)
