Multiple decimal-format declarations

[Paul J. Lucas]

The XQuery 3.0 spec, section 4.10, says in part:

> It is a static error for a query prolog to contain two decimal format declarations with the same name, or to contain two default decimal format declarations [err:XQST0111].

Yet FOTS test numberformat41:

declare namespace foo = "http://foo.ns";
declare namespace baz = "http://foo.ns";
declare decimal-format foo:decimal1 minus-sign="-" NaN="not a number" ;
declare decimal-format baz:decimal1 NaN="not a number" decimal-separator="." ;
string-join((
                format-number("NaN","###","foo:decimal1"),
                format-number(-13.2,"###.0","foo:decimal1"),
                format-number("NaN","###","baz:decimal1"),
                format-number(-13.2,"###.0","baz:decimal1")), "|")
);

seems to have two decimal format declarations with the same (resolved) name. Zorba reports this an an error. Is Zorba correct (in which case the test is wrong), or is Zorba wrong (in which case the spec is wrong or unclear)? Does the spec mean that it's actually OK to declare multiple decimal-format declarations with the same name as long as their property names don't overlap (in which case their properties are merged)?

FOTS test numberformat42 is similar.

Ghislian, I lost track of the XQuery standard... Could you please double check and then tell Paul the answer ? Thanks

I think you are right, my interpretation of the specification is that err:XQST0111 should be raised.

I reopened the following bug (see comment 3) and will keep you informed:

As mentioned by Mike Kay in
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19716#c5
the 'xpath-1.0-compatibility' dependency is added only for XPath 1.0 test-cases.

In Zorba's case we should set 'xpath-1.0-compatibility' dependency to 'false' since we only care about running XQuery test-cases.
