--- Comment #2 from Abel Braaksma <abel.braaksma@xs4all.nl> ---
As discussed at today's telcon #638, this issue can be closed with no action,
for the following reasons:

- XPath requires host languages to define limits, both XSLT and XQuery do so
- XSLT and XQuery define an 18 digits minimum
- The dependency on XSD as perceived by the spec is therefor not relevant
- Even though XSD 1.1 allows 16 digits min. precision, this has no influence as
this is lower than the limit defined in host languages
- Other options were discussed (like leaving a Note), but dismissed as too
irrelevant and/or adding to the confusion 
- None that were on call could find other mentions in the text on 18 digits

Since XPath does not define these limits, the text that resolves Bug 29419
(which mentions the 18 digits) will be slightly and editorially adjusted. This
will be tracked in that bug itself.

Resolved as WORKSFORME.
