This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2007JanMar/0024.html Abel Braaksma (<abel.online@xs4all.nl>) points out that IEEE has removed the link we used to IEEE 754-1985.
This bug relates to 1.0, but not to 1.1 (which fixes the broken link by pointing to the root of the IEEE site). Accordingly, I'm changing the version field value here. On 17 August 2007 the WG agreed that an erratum should be issued for 1.0, noting (in plain text) that the old link is broken and providing the same link as in 1.1.
See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2007JanMar/0026.html As of July 2008 the editors have not yet prepared the erratum; other things have taken higher priority.
