For example, "2" is greater than "11" in XPath 2.0+ but not in XPath 1.0!

This sounds like a good plan. What is it exactly that fails with the comparisons?

Hello,

The main form of the testsuite does not currently work well with XPath 2.0+ (with Compatibility Mode set to false) because of default text comparisons even with numeric values.

This is a well-documented difference with XPath 1.0: https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-incompat-in-false-mode

Adding an explicit number() function call in expressions sounds like a good compatibility solution for both XPath 1.0 and XPath 2.0+ engines:

“. &gt; ../count” to be replaced with “number(.) &gt; number(../count)”

It might be interesting to add a mention to this in XForms 2.0 specifications. What do you think?
