Hi all,

I had a action item to add a note to the specification to indicate how to reset allowedCharacters to allow any character.

During the call we mentioned: allowedCharacters="." (which is currently in the specification as an example)
And allowedCharacters=".*"

I think both are wrong.

I don't think ".*" is a character class as defined here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#charcter-classes

And "." is a valid pattern for a character class, but corresponds to [^\n\r] no to 'any characters'. (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#nt-WildcardEsc)

Could we then use ".[\n\r]" for "any characters?
