RE: Dates with timezones

Yes!  I would like to see a pattern for the lexical form of all
datatypes
in Schema 1.1.  Also, a better exposition of how the lexical space maps
to
the value space. 

All the best, Ashok

Thanks. In a future edition of XML Schema, it would be nice to add
patterns (or even examples) showing the format of these (non-ISO8601)
values.
