comment on XSLT2 WD from Kit Lueder, MITRE

I tried to use bugzilla to comment on the XSLT 2.0 WD, but not sure I
succeeded. Here it is again.
XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.0
W3C Working Draft 4 April 2005
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xslt20-20050404/ 

XML Schema Part 2 definitions for infinity value in a float data type (
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/ ) are as follows:
"The special values positive and negative infinity and not-a-number have
lexical representations INF, -INF and NaN ..."

The XSLT2 WD has an example that cites '+INF', but it looks like XML
Schema part 2 doesn't specifically provide for the plus sign on positive
infinity.
I am referring to the XSLT2 WD example in "Example: Errors in Constant
Subexpressions" that contains the following line:
<xsl:value-of select="xs:double('+INF')"/>

Based on XML Schema part 2, it looks like the XSLT2 example should
instead say:
<xsl:value-of select="xs:double('INF')"/>

It looks like -INF is defined in XML Schema data types but not +INF:
<xsl:value-of select="xs:double('-INF')"/> 
 
Thanks,
Kit Lueder
