>From the telcon 2010-10-22:
Originating with Michael Kay's email at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2010Oct/0006.html
<dezell> MK: the rules weren't clear before (whether or not +- is allowed) or
backtracking, etc.
<dezell> MK: now they are very clear, and many existing schemas may break.
<dezell> DE: will people use a "compatibility" mode.
<dezell> MSM: not great.
<dezell> DE: have we made a mistake by making the rules too explicit?
<dezell> MSM: no no no. We need to figure out ways to get clarity without
breaking things.
<dezell> MK: won't change the grammar, only the prose following rule 81 in the
grammar.
<dezell> MSM: I think we need a story about the topic in the Note, about what
happens with more than one hyphen.
<dezell> MK: we could change the rule to say if you can't parse as part of a
character range then backtrack.
<dezell> ...: I think that's consistent with most regex systems.
<dezell> SG: so I'm not in favor of forcing backtracking if we can achieve the
goal without it.
<dezell> MSM: 1) we need tests that illuminate this segment of the grammar
<dezell> ...: should show how existing regex libraries and tools work.
<dezell> ...: 2) then we should study current behavior.
<dezell> ...: 3) then we can decide what we need to do.
