Description Michael Kay 2005-10-19 21:31:09 UTC 
In the results of orderBy55, a value represented as -0 in the source document
appears as -0 in the expected output. However, the schema type of
NegativeNumbers/orderData is decimal, so the typed value of the element node is
decimal zero (there is no decimal negative zero), and the result of converting
this to a float is positive zero. Therefore it must appear in the output as "0",
not as "-0".

Andrew/Mike:

This is one of my tests.  I agree with Mike's assestment.  Value was
changed to "0". Please close bug if you agree with resolution.

Thanks,
Carmelo
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2006-03-08 22:02:02 UTC 
The bug has not been fixed in 0.8.6 - the expected results still contain "-0".
Comment 3 Carmelo Montanez 2006-03-10 20:00:22 UTC 
Sorry, No idea how I missed this. I Changed the value.  Close the bug when able
to verify.

Thanks,
Carmelo
