XSCH-FO-007 Casting numerics and inconsistency (17.8)

We note that 17.8.3 can raise one error for any failure to
convert to decimal, but 17.8.4 can use one of two errors
for failure to convert to integer.  We believe the failure
cases are the same (number too large or illegal value, e.g., NaN),
so we think these sections should be consistent.
