This is surely intended as a bug against 1.0, rather than "1.0/1.1 both"?  The
1.1 spec has gone completely liberal about the contents of an anyURI, stating
only that it's a character string whose intended purpose is as a URI.

As for XSD 1.0, I'm personally against historical revisionism, but I know that
others disagree. The fact is that after 7 years, many of the implementations
that exist today are stable and are not going to track every erratum to the
spec anyway. The 1.0 spec for anyURI already allows implementations a fair
degree of latitude, and many implementations take advantage of it.
