Whitespace and patterns

If I have the following type definition

  <xsd:simpleType name="Fred">
    <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
      <xsd:pattern value="[\p{L}\p{N}\s]{1,30}"/>
    </xsd:restriction>
  </xsd:simpleType>
  <xsd:element name="Fred" type=""Fred"/>


Would a single space be legitimate content for
Fred?, i.e.

<Fred> </Fred>

What I am trying to say is that any mixture of letters,
numbers and whitespace from 1to 30 characters
is allowed.

XMLSpy says "the value does not match facet" but
I'm struggling to see why.

Any help appreciated.


Regards
Michael
