Description Marc Van Cappellen 2005-09-02 21:02:33 UTC 
A number of the generalexpression tests, for example generalexpression1,  
contain both a <output-file> and <expected-error> element.
Does this imply that both raising an error and evaluating to the appropriate 
results are considered correct? Or are the <expected-error> elements legacy and 
can be removed?
For example in generalexpression1, which reads as follows: "() = ()". The 
expected error, XPST0005, seems incorrect in this scenario. We do agree with 
the expected output (false).

In general, we have described the occurrence of multiple results in our
documentation. The Guidelines for Running the XML Query Test Suite, in the
Comparing Results section, state:

"It is possible that a test case provides multiple expected results. In this
case, successfully comparing the actual result to one of the provided expected
results is a "pass"."

Thanks for the message.  This is an issue we will probably discuss this
week during our regular telecon.

Thanks for the note.  The expected error tag was removed as the given condition
is not an error.
