If it does so, it seems that it does so only by default; I can find no mention of limits in the Data Model spec. On the other hand, F+O does have a few things to say about limits, for example the required precision for date/time values. It doesn't contradict what we say in XSLT, except that it doesn't say that it's a host language responsibility. Section 4.7 says nothing about what processors should do when limits are exceeded. What happens, for example, if the limit on the length of a sequence is exceeded? We don't say whether processors are required to fail cleanly. 82909 1 mike 2013-02-11 16:02:26 +0000 The Working Group was minded to do nothing. (But recognized that the issue might come up in relation to specific test cases...)
