           Summary: Possible errors in integer and float regular
                    expressions
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified

            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebIDL

The regular expressions for "integer"[1] and "float"[2], as currently defined
in the dev spec[3], do not allow negated base 10 numbers, nor negated
scientific notation numbers with integer coefficients. I assume those cases
should be allowed as well?

Thanks,
Kevin

[1] integer = -?0([0-7]*|[Xx][0-9A-Fa-f]+)|[1-9][0-9]*
[2] float =
-?([0-9]+\.[0-9]*|[0-9]*\.[0-9]+)([Ee][+-]?[0-9]+)?|[0-9]+[Ee][+-]?[0-9]+
