Determining what facets can operate on what datatype.

As I dig deeper into the spec I am finding it hard to easily determine what
facets are compatible with what datatypes. For instance, the definition of
length:

"For string and datatypes derived from string, length is measured in units
of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and
base64Binary and datatypes derived from them, length is measured in octets
(8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes derived by list, length is measured
in number of list items."

Indicates to me that minLength, maxLength and fixedLength facets can only
apply to derivations of String, hexBinary, base64Binary or List types.

However, I don't see that explicitly stated anywhere (I am likely missing
something) which leaves some question to my assumptions as well as what to
do when encountering other datatypes.

Is there information available which I am not seeing or should a way to
approach this problem that I may not be realizing?

Thanks,

Casey
