This limit has been raised to "All ·minimally conforming· processors must support duration values with from -2,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 months and from -2,000,000 to 2,000,000 seconds." This seems excessive. This comment has been entered on behalf of the XML Query and XSL WGs. 12217 1 davep 2006-09-30 14:48:28 +0000 The WG has changed the limits so that the months coordinate is limited to from -119999 to 119999 months (9999 years and 11 months) and the seconds coordinate (which wasn't mentioned in the original comment) is limited to from -31622400 to 31622400 seconds (one leap-year). (In 1.0 the six coordinates--year, month, day, hour, minute, second--were separate and not normalized. Only the year coordinate had a specified minimum partial implementation, which was from -9999 to 9999. The choice of 9999 years and 11 months as the limit for the 1.1 month coordinate corresponds to the 1.0 limit with month normalized. The choice of one leap-year's worth of seconds was more arbitrary.)
