RE: Pattern facet for boolean

The reason for the pattern facet on booleans dates back to pre-CR days when
booleans were allowed to be either 0, 1, false, or true - and then it made
sense to allow pattern facets to let the schema developer restrict the value
space to be only {true,false} or only {0,1} if so desired.

Kind regards,

I noticed in the Part 2:Datatypes spec that the pattern facet was listed for
the boolean built-in. Since boolean can only be 'true' or 'false', what
earthly use is there for it? Just curious.
