Comments on Datatypes from ISO SC34

As part of an exercise to determine datatype requirements for the ISO
Document Schemas Definition Language (DSDL) members of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34
were asked to identify what problems they had encountered with the
application of W3C datatypes. The attached Critique summarises the comments
that were received from the experts on the ISO Working Group. We submit it
in the hope that it may help current efforts to review the existing W3C
Datatypes
