Two XML Schema Notes published: Unicode block names for use in XSD
regexps; XSD datatype for IEEE floating-point decimal

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9125

   The XML Schema Working Group published two Group Notes today:
   "Unicode block names for use in XSD regular expressions" and
   "An XSD datatype for IEEE floating-point decimal." The former
   lists the names of character categories and character blocks
   defined by Unicode and used in the regular expression language
   defined by XSD 1.0 and XSD 1.1. The latter defines a datatype
   designed for compatibility with IEEE 754 floating-point decimal
   data, which can be supported by XSD 1.1 processors as an
   implementation-defined datatype. Learn more about the
   Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.
