In fact, all of the new types are badly thought out. Decimals are poorly specified as soon as you realize that real implementations won't be infinite precision. How are they going to round? Why does division automatically revert from Decimal to Double? (Answer: Decimals don't really make sense the way they're defined.) This is especially important, since every literal with a decimal point in it in XPath 1.0 will become a Decimal now. This changes old behavior without warning. Don't make Decimal the default for old literals. (Make Decimal require an xf:Decimal() constructor if it needs to be part of the language.) And why do we have 12 different integer types? It doesn't add anything useful. ... In fact any place where I would be likely to comment in this document it is the parts applying to xml schema, xml schema dependency, PSVI requirements no, no, no by god I swear now that if this follows through I will, I will; I'll have my mid-life crisis early that's what I'll do
