> that different platforms will always have minor differences in numeric > precision etc. Of course, but this is accepted and anyway most queries are not doing large scale numerical calculations one would hope. But there is a vast difference between differences in numerical results and differences that mean that the majority of queries written will fail to even complile on some conforming implementations. > I find this "interoperability issue" to be of minor concern. For Xquery this is perhaps a sustainable view but for Xpath find it surprising that you are not even concened that the majority opinion in XPath implemntors appear to be that the interoperability problems and general typing complexity is so great that the implementations (and therefore one assumes, the users) should stick with XPath 1. I think that the case for having an optional component of XPath that completely destroys any chance of interoperability just has not been made.
