Last Call: XML Schema 1.1 Datatypes
The XML Schema Working Group has released a Last Call Working Draft
of "XML Schema 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes." Comments are welcome through

associate semantics with them. With XML Schema Part 2, datatypes may be
defined for use in XML schemas as well as other contexts. Visit the XML
home page.
