This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The data file atomic.xml contains the following data for an element of type xs:gMonth: <atomic:gMonth>--12--</atomic:gMonth> This is invalid. XML Schema Part 2 says: The lexical representation for gMonth is the left and right truncated lexical representation for date: --MM. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. [History: the first issue of XML schema part 2 incorrectly gave the format of gMonth as --M--. This was corrected by subsequent erratum. Many Schema processors continue to accept the invalid --M-- format because they get less hassle from users if they do: many textbooks, for example, have blindly copied the error from the original spec. However, it's invalid according to the current normative spec.]
Michael: Thanks. I will have to take a close look at this as it may affect a number of tests. Thanks, Carmelo
Michael: Correct. Fixed file. I believe, this will not affect any tests. Please close the bug if in agreement and able to verify. Thanks, Carmelo
