Description

Previous specs were not clear how strict or lenient framework implementations should be when coercing types when evaluating filter strings. The Felix framework was strict and did not massage parsed data when coercing types (e.g., trimming string values before coercing them to a number). Now the spec says that the string representation of number types should be trimmed before attempting coercion.
