    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-919?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=64534#comment-64534 ] 

Evan Ireland commented on ODATA-919:
------------------------------------

Should we reconsider 5.1.1.2.5 Division

"The div operator divides the left numeric operand by the right numeric operand. The div operator is also valid for dividing a Duration value by a numeric value. If the right operand is zero and the left operand is neither of type Edm.Single nor Edm.Double, the request fails."

Perhaps we can redefine such "failure" to give a null result. This would avoid a need to define NaN/Infinity for non-single/double types.
