Re: Minimum number of digits for decimal

John:

This email is to let you know that the issue you raised at [1] has been
considered by the XML Schema WG came to the following conclusion (in
Bugzilla at [2]):

<quote>
We have discussed this specific point, and concluded that while it looks
anomolous, there is no actual problem here: either you only cover 18
digits in the derived types as well, or you use a different underlying
implementation.

Resolution: So close this with no further action: RESOLVED, WONTFIX.

Thanks for the comment, and we hope you find our handling satisfactory.


Best regards,
David Ezell
