[basex-talk] "Infinity" is incorrectly cast to xs:float.

[Reece Dunn]

 Hi,

I have found the following behaviour in BaseX 9.0:

"Infinity" cast as xs:float (: INF :)
"-Infinity" cast as xs:float (: -INF :)
"infinity" cast as xs:float (: [FORG0001] Cannot convert xs:string to
xs:float: "infinity". :)
"Infinity" cast as xs:double (: [FORG0001] Cannot convert xs:string to
xs:double: "Infinity". :)
"-Infinity" cast as xs:double (: [FORG0001] Cannot convert xs:string to
xs:double: "-Infinity". :)

>From my reading of Functions and Operators 3.1, and XML Schema 1.1 Part 2
Datatypes, "Infinity" and "-Infinity" are both invalid values for xs:float
(like with xs:double) -- they should only be "INF" and "-INF".

Kind regards,
