The canonical form for negative zero is "-0.0E0". " Since earlier rules handle these two cases, these two lines can be deleted. 3220 1 ashok.malhotra 2005-05-18 22:31:54 +0000 I'm sorry but I disagree. The canonical form for float/double is defined in this paragraph. The forms for positive and negative zero are specially called out as these are special values. Smart users may be able to infer these forms from the preceding general rules but a bit of redundancy does no harm. 3221 2 mrys 2005-05-19 03:17:46 +0000 Sorry, but there is currently a contradiction. xs:string(-0e0) should return "-0" and not "-0e0" according to the earlier parts of the spec. Talking about the canonical form in that place is misleading and contradicts the earlier casting rules. 3127 3 ashok.malhotra 2005-05-19 22:28:15 +0000 Now, with the fuller explanation, this makes sense. Fixed! Ashok Malhotra
