Consider the following schema document and instance:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="root">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:decimal">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Always two signif. digits</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:pattern value=".*\..."/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<root>3.00</root>
The instance is valid per the schema corresponding to the schema document.
A query which attempted to construct an element including this one
would however fail, as I read the spec., because the serialization
would include <root>3.0</root>, which is invalid per the type.
