           Summary: Oops! in algorithm of precisionDecimalCanonicalMap
           Product: XML Schema

          Priority: P2
         Component: Datatypes: XSD Part 2

Oops I discovered while commenting on bug 3248:

Step 5 of the algorithm for precisionDecimalCanonicalMap begins
  "Otherwise, it will be the case that nV is less than 1E&#8722;6 or greater
than 1E6."

Actually, it should read
  "Otherwise, it will be the case that nV is less than 1E&#8722;6 or greater
than 1E6 or aP is less than zero."

I believe the actual subalgorithm under Step 5 is correct even in this added
case.
