            Bug ID: 28693
           Summary: Editorial: consistency in names relating to formatting
                    decimals
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Working drafts
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Functions and Operators 3.1

It would be more clear if the various names used in reference to formatting
decimals were consistent across the following:

1. "Named properties" listed in the table under fn: format-number in F&O
2. Keywords used in the Decimal Format Declaration in XQuery
3. The names of the components in the static context in XQuery
4. The attributes of xsl:decimal-format in XSLT v.2 and 3

"digit" has 3 names: 
   digit (#2 and #4) vs.  digit-sign (#3) vs. optional-digit-sign (#1)

Some of the others have 2 names, where it is consistent in #2-#4 but "-sign" is
added in F&O:

   decimal-separator vs. decimal-separator-sign
   grouping-separator vs. grouping-separator-sign
   exponent-separator vs. exponent-separator-sign
   percent vs. percent-sign
   per-mille vs. per-mille-sign
   zero-digit vs. mandatory-digit-sign
   pattern-separator vs. pattern-separator-sign

Others are consistent across all 4 (NaN, infinity, minus-sign).
