However fn:format-integer does not permit the empty sequence and has inconsistent handling of invalid values. fn:format-integer($value as xs:integer?, $picture as xs:string, $language as xs:string) as xs:string Could this not be made consistent with the other formatting functions, so that 1. a call to the two-argument function is equivalent to a call to the three-argument version with the third argument set to the empty sequence. 2. If the $language argument is omitted or is set to an empty sequence, or if it is set to an invalid value or a value that the implementation does not recognize, then the processor uses an 60076 1 mike 2011-11-16 17:44:41 +0000 Discussed by the WG on 15 Nov 2011, agreed that the specs should be aligned and that when format-integer is given any of: (an empty sequence; nothing; an invalid value; a value not supported by the implementation), it should in each case fall back to a default language. 60495 2 tim 2011-11-25 14:40:06 +0000 Thanks.
