Grammars can specify that they take either a
<number>
, or specifically an<integer>
. This behavior is well-defined for literal tokens, but less clear for functions evaluating to these types.Math functions that resolve to a
<number>
are defined to be allowed to satisfy an<integer>
production; their value is rounded to the nearest integer. Similarly, interpolation between two<integer>
terms is defined to round to the nearest integer. But there's not actually anything saying, one way or the other, how to treat other functions that return a<number>
but aren't math functions, likesibling-index()
. We have never defined a function as returning an<integer>
; are these functions simply invalid to be used inz-index
and the like?I propose that we adopt the "round to the nearest integer" behavior for everything that's not a literal
<number-token>
. (The behavior for<number-token>
is probably too entrenched to change.)Agenda+ as this is a change to a stable spec.
