Re: CR-22: Allow negative scale? WG response

Many thanks for your thoughtful response on this comment.   I am content
for this to be deferred until the next round, as there is a more serious
problem with the decimal data type which needs to be fixed before W3C can
recommend the Schema.   I note that your example:

  <elt value="3"/>

uses (quite reasonably) a value of "3".   However, this is *not* a valid
canonical representation of a decimal number.   I shall be raising this
concern and the related problems of scale separately.
