    <thetext>string($x) where $x is negative zero returns &quot;0&quot; in XPath 1.0, &quot;-0&quot; in XPath 2.0.

This should either be changed to make it backwards compatible, or the change
should be added to the backwards compatibility appendix.

Since fn:string(-0e0) results in the same value as xs:string(-0e0), and having 
special semantics for this one case seems less desirable, we should document 
the difference in the backwards-compat appendix (and maybe make it part of the 
XPath 1.0 compat mode).</thetext>
