This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In the Microsoft Element test set, the schema for test elemZ031 uses minOccurs and maxOccurs values that exceed the largest integer that implementations are obliged to support; the test is therefore not interoperable.
The test has a valid value for the minOccurs attribute per spec. The WG should clarify if there is max value processors are obliged to support in this case, if not, this test case should hold.
The feeling on this is that we ought to change the schema/rules for reporting test results so that an implementation can report that a particular test exceeds the system limits supported by that processor (or the system resources available for running it...). This in itself will enable useful information to be gathered on the limits that people are implementing. There may also be cases for introducing more "minimum limits" into the spec itself - but this could be controversial for the case of minOccurs and maxOccurs. The feeling is that if we can improve the mechanisms for reporting results, it's probably worth keeping this test.
