Online validator - "." matches \r

Hi, I have tried to use the online schema validator:

   http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv

I am trying to validate an instance document.  In the "Address(es):"
input area, I have entered two URLs, separated by a space:

  http://sirius-software.com/daveweb/resources/schtst03.xml
  http://sirius-software.com/daveweb/resources/schtst03.xsd

I think that this instance document should fail, because it has
a carriage return between the characters "A" and "B", which the
"." in the pattern "A.*B" should not match.  At the end of appendix
F in part 2 of the schema recommendation, it clearly states that
"." does not match CarriageReturn:

  Character
  sequence:   Equivalent character class:
  ---------   ---------------------------
  .           [^\n\r]

(The assessment was for the document "<t>A&#x0D;B</t>" against a
schema which restricted the string content of element "t" to
match the pattern "A.*B".  (Note that testing with "&#x0A;"
between "A" and "B" fails, as expected.)

Can you please let me know whether this validation should
succeed or fail?

Thank you.  Dave Evans, Sirius Software Inc., Cambridge MA USA
