Inevitably, inclusion of a new type in XML Schema requires that the type be considered in the context of XPath, XQuery, and XSLT. The integration of precision decimal into XPath, XQuery, and XSLT systems raises a number of questions about the numeric promotion hierarchy, the definitions of operators, and so forth. In order that these two WGs be able to better understand how this type might, if adopted, be supported in those languages, we ask that you not move forward with precision decimal (i.e., not advance beyond Last Call status) until all three Working Groups (XML Query, XSL, and XML Schema) have had a chance to discuss the issues and reach consensus. We propose that these discussions be held during the June meeting of the WGs. 12594 1 davep 2006-10-23 18:18:20 +0000 Am marking this a duplicate of 3120; according to the commenter (Jim Melton) they have the same effect; 3120 was (according to Melton) "more analytical, giving some additional reasons", so I'm marking this one the duplicate so that we work with the more complete of the two. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 3120 ***
