I was looking at this bug text and one of the things it recommends is using 
\d instead of [0-9].  However, as I understand it, (sadly!) \d is equivalent 
to Unicode \p{Nd}, which matches digits in many languages such as 
ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO at character code 0660 and so on.  (I'm assuming 
here that there are no special rules in the schema spec that map \d to just 
[0-9].)

I don't think this is the intent and therefore it's appropriate to 
_un_recommend this change!!
