Description Michael Kay 2006-11-17 12:24:54 UTC 
There are two published results for this test: 

1.26743233E15
1267.43233E12

The second one should not be allowed. (Functions and operators, 17.1.2, "there must be exactly one digit before the decimal point, which must be non-zero")

However, the first result is not the only possible result. Saxon produces 

1.2674324E15

which is a different lexical representation of the same float as the published value, and is therefore a correct answer.
Comment 1 Andrew Eisenberg 2006-11-20 17:24:56 UTC 
I agree with both of your points. I have changed the alternate result to 1.2674324E15.
