Subject: A.3.4. Numeric data type conversions
Hi, I would reword the description of the double-to-integer function. Currently it is: "[...] SHALL truncate its numeric value to a whole number and return an element of data-type "#integer"." => "... and return this/that number as an element ..." ;) Concerning integer-to-double: Since #integer is an unbounded data type, there are #double values that cannot represent some #integer values (for example: 2^100 + 1). What shall happen in such a case? Intuitively, since the function cannot do what it is requested to do, it would have to return "Indeterminate". Roland
