            Bug ID: 29824
           Summary: [SER31] Adaptive output method, xs:double
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Candidate Recommendation

  Target Milestone: ---

The text reads

"An instance of xs:double is serialized by applying the function
format-number(?, '0.0##########################e0')."

This means that the result is dependent on the default decimal format.  Is that
the default decimal format used by the query/transformation/path expression, or
some other default for serialization?

Note that by default in XQuery, format-number of infinity would be "Infinity",
not "INF" as expected in the test suite.

I suggest that the specification be reworded to state a specific default
decimal format for the adaptive serialization method, perhaps using INF for the
infinity symbol.
