Martin: Thanks for your comments. I've replied in the body of your note below. My remarks are prefixed by AM>> All the best, Ashok "Martin Bryan" <mtbryan@sgml.u-net.com>@w3.org on 04/13/2000 10:27:21 AM Sent by: www-xml-schema-comments-request@w3.org To: <www-xml-schema-comments@w3.org> cc: Subject: Questions relating to data types What does it mean to apply a pattern to a timeDuration? AM>> The pattern facet allows you to constrain the lexical representation AM>> of the datatype. For time duration you could, for example, write AM>> a pattern that starts with P100Y. This would mean that the the AM>> duration must be greater than 100 years. Why does the example given of a timeInstance not have a Z before the last hyphen? AM>> The example is correct. A "Z" is not required and would be an error. Why is the period facet of time shown as PY24H rather than PT24H? (Again there is no Z preceding the timezone details in the example.) AM>> It should be PT24H. Thanks. A "Z" is not required. If you define a minInclusive or minExclusive date for a recurring duration whose period is 7 days will the days always fall on the same day of the week as the first date within the period (i.e. the minInclusive date)? AM>> Yes, it would. How can enumeration be applied to the binary datatype? AM>> In theory you could define an enumeration by quoting hunks of, say, AM>> base64 encoded binary data.
