Description Benito van der Zander 2013-09-12 23:06:27 UTC 
These tests

op-numeric-add-1
op-numeric-mod-1
op-numeric-multiply-1
op-numeric-subtract-1
op-numeric-unary-minus-1
op-numeric-unary-plus-1


all require the result of an operation on an integer value of type xs:decimal to have the type xs:decimal.

However (as just discussed on the xquery-talk mailing list) it is legal to cast any integer valued decimal to integer at any time, i.e.  `-xs:decimal(1) instance of xs:integer`  or `xs:decimal(1) instance of xs:integer` might both be true
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2013-10-14 14:47:22 UTC 
Personal response/assessment: I agree with the comment. The tests should be reorganized so that an xs:integer result is permitted where an xs:decimal result is expected.
Comment 2 Benito van der Zander 2015-05-01 20:25:24 UTC 
These tests also exist in the new XQTS and have the same issues there
Comment 3 O'Neil Delpratt 2016-04-12 13:45:13 UTC 
This bug has been transferred to QT3 test suite: See bug #29572
