[Bug 18020] New: Limits

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18020

           Summary: Limits
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Working drafts
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XSLT 3.0

The XSLT 3.0 specification asserts, in section 4.7, that the Data Model spec
leaves it to host languages to define limits. If it does so, it seems that it
does so only by default; I can find no mention of limits in the Data Model
spec.

On the other hand, F+O does have a few things to say about limits, for example
the required precision for date/time values. It doesn't contradict what we say
in XSLT, except that it doesn't say that it's a host language responsibility.

Section 4.7 says nothing about what processors should do when limits are
exceeded. What happens, for example, if the limit on the length of a sequence
is exceeded? We don't say whether processors are required to fail cleanly.
