           Summary: Test fn-avgflt2args-1 answers are incorrect
           Product: XML Query Test Suite
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XML Query Test Suite

The test is:

fn:avg((xs:float("-3.4028235E38"),xs:float("-3.4028235E38")))

the test result required is:

-INF

but I think that "-3.4028235E38" should also be allowed as a valid answer. This
would allow an XQuery implementation to use an average function with greater
precision, and seems to fall within the limits of the spec. This new result is
still within the limits imposed on xs:float datatypes.
