This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Reported by Martin Honnen on xsl-list: The first example in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#splitting-examples uses no schema as far as I can tell but then tries a comparison with the operators 'lt' and 'ge' of an attribute node value with an xs:integer: transactions/transaction[@value lt 0] transactions/transaction[@value ge 0] That generates warnings "Comparison of xs:untypedAtomic? to xs:integer will fail unless the first operand is empty" with Saxon 9.6 EE so I think the comparisons need to be written as transactions/transaction[number(@value) lt 0] transactions/transaction[number(@value) ge 0] or transactions/transaction[xs:decimal(@value) lt 0] transactions/transaction[xs:decimal(@value) ge 0] to work as intended or the operators '<' and '>' need to be used.
The WG agreed that this error needs to be fixed.
