If the *instance* of the property can not be converted to the requested type, that expression evaluates to UNKNOWN, as said in 5.11. As such, it doesn't make the query itself invalid, and thus no error needs to be returned. However, if the DAV:typed-value specified in the query can not be converted to the desired type, it probably would be good to reject the query, as in <lt xmlns="DAV:" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <prop><edits xmlns="http://ns.example.org"/></prop> <typed-literal xsi:type="xs:integer">foobar</typed-literal> </lt> Did you mean that case?
