If there is some reason to allow such a declaration without a DFPropertyName, I think it should be spelled out. If not, I believe the "*" should be changed to a "+". 37184 1 mike 2010-07-30 09:23:33 +0000 It's entirely reasonable to declare a decimal format in which all the properties are defaulted. If someone does format-number(123.456, '##.###', $myformat) then $myformat must be the name of a format declared in the prolog, and it's entirely reasonable for one of the formats to use system defaults for all properties. 37186 2 brettz9 2010-07-30 09:32:12 +0000 Ok, that is reasonable. I think it might help to spell that fact out though. 39150 3 jonathan.robie 2010-09-21 16:26:55 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > Ok, that is reasonable. I think it might help to spell that fact out though. The Working Group agrees. We will explain this in the text.
