Description Michael Kay 2009-01-26 14:26:53 UTC 
The prose description of xs:double and xs:float says that the lexical representations "INF" and "-INF" are accepted; the regular expression also allows "+INF".
Comment 1 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2009-01-31 21:18:33 UTC 
Thank you, good catch.  In preparing the current status-quo documents
I have gone ahead and unilaterally changed the relevant prose; it should
have changed when we updated the regex and EBNF.

The unapproved fix for this bug is in the LCWD January 30, 2009.
