Description Paul J. Lucas 2013-03-31 16:20:07 UTC 
This test:

  format-integer(-5, 'Ww;o')

expects:

  -Fifth

It should alternatively expect:

  Negative Fifth
  Minus Fifth

test set name is "fn-format-integer", test case name is "format-integer-044".
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2013-05-01 09:16:00 UTC 
The specification does not currently allow such results. It states clearly:

If the value of $value is negative, the rules below are applied to the absolute value of $value, and a minus sign is prepended to the result.

Feel free to request a change to the specification, but as a bug against the test suite, I am rejecting it as invalid.
