I think you are referring to a test in the Sun tests, test set SType, test
group st_facets00119m.

Yes, the format --mm-- is bogus. It was wrongly permitted in the first
publication of XSD 1.0 and was subsequently withdrawn by erratum.

I permit this format in Saxon because the error has found its way into so many
books and tutorials, not to mention user-written applications, that it causes
less hassle to accept it than to reject it. But it's clearly wrong. This
illustrates the problems of fixing a spec by erratum.
