Hi, In section 6.3.15.1 of the F&O spec, it says that: "In string mode, the meta-character . matches any character whatsoever. In multi-line mode, the meta-character . matches any character except a newline character." This seems to infer that in string mode, the meta-character . should match the newline character. However, this behaviour would differ from that of Regular Expressions in XML Schemas: in appendix F of the XML Schema Datatypes spec the equivalent character class for . is given as [^\n\r]. Can you please verify whether a newline should match the . meta-character in string mode? Is the newline character considered 'any character'?
