Description Bogdan Butnaru 2009-06-06 01:36:18 UTC 
Hello!

Tests CastableAs019, CastableAs017, CastableAs099, and CastableAs101 try the following expressions:

“xs:untypedAtomic("-0.0E0") castable as xs:decimal”
“xs:untypedAtomic("1e-5") castable as xs:decimal”
“xs:string("-0.0E0") castable as xs:decimal”
“xs:string("1e-5") castable as xs:decimal”

and expect the result to be “false”. I've read the cited specs several times tonight and I can't think of any reason why the result wouldn't be “true” (with the resulting decimals being 0.0E0 and 1.0E-5).

Am I missing something, or are these bugs?

Exponential notation is not allowed for xs:decimal. See

I can't imagine how I could have missed that. Sorry for the noise.
