Parsing strings as numbers

Subject: Parsing strings as numbers
From: Andrew Kimball <akimball@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

According to my reading of the XPath spec, '1e200' and '+2.0' are not valid
numbers.

1. Can it possibly be the intended behavior to disallow scientific notation
and a leading plus sign?
2. Do I dare change MSXML to reject these examples (i.e. do a lot of people
use this notation since it currently does work)?
