I am not sure if I am correct here but felt it was relevant to raise the issue anyway. The XSD Schema (W3C XML Schema) Recommendation Part 2 defines an xsd:decimal as consisting of the characters 0 to 9 plus a period. See Chapter 3.2.3.1 of Part 2 of the Recommendation. Given that a very likely use of XForms is to accept "decimal" numbers which are currency how is the situation of, say, Germany where 100.00 Euros is expressed as 100,00 to be handled? I am not sure if the definition of xsd:decimal, as only including a period as a decimal separator, was consciously parochial but it does seem questionable in the context of a fully internationalised Web. Any thoughts? Shouldn't XForms aim for something which is more internationalised? Andrew Watt
