Description Michael Kay 2005-07-13 15:34:10 UTC 
In 10.4.15.1 Examples, the example is preceded with a statement about the
assumed implicit timezone. However, the result of this expression does not
depend on the implicit timezone.
Comment 1 Ashok Malhotra 2005-07-21 22:41:31 UTC 
I'm afraid I disagree.  Look at the first example:

op:time-less-than(xs:time("12:00:00"), xs:time("23:00:00+06:00")) returns false.

This returns 'false' as the two times are equal based on the implicit timezone
value of -05:00.  If the implicit timezone was, say, -04:00 the result would be
'true'.
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2005-07-21 22:49:45 UTC 
What I read in 10.4.15.1 (4 April 2005 edition) is:

10.4.15.1 Examples

Assume that the dynamic context provides an implicit timezone value of -05:00.

    * op:time-greater-than(xs:time("08:00:00+09:00"), xs:time("17:00:00-06:00"))
returns false.

You seem to be looking at 10.4.14.1.

Comment 3 Ashok Malhotra 2005-07-21 23:14:49 UTC 
The section numbers seem to have changed.  The example you refer to is now in
10.4.16.1.  I'll fix that.

Closing bug because commenter has not objected to the resolution posted and more than two weeks have passed.
