https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26648

            Bug ID: 26648
           Summary: [XSLT30] edge cases for numeric package version
                    components comparisons
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Last Call drafts
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XSLT 3.0

This was first covered in an email discussion, see
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-wg/2014Aug/0014.html and
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-wg/2014Aug/0015.html (member
only).

Summary: numeric version components are compared numerically according to the
new 3.6.1 section. Numeric overflow might happen when doing such comparisons.
The proposal in 0015.html is to describe the behavior in terms of the XPath gt,
lt and eq operators.

Maybe we can do the same for the string comparisons?

As mentioned in 0023.html, I think there is no need to re-cast XPath errors to
be XSLT errors for such (very rare) edge cases.
