One of the major things missing from version 1 is the ability to define new
atomic types as a combination of existing types. As an example, the
construction of a "currency" type that might consist of the two simple
atomic types:
eg. currencycode: string, restricted to "£", "$" etc.
currencyval : decimal, 2 fractional digits
-> currency : union of: currencycode & currencyval
So, this new atomic type would permit values such as £27.20 and $7.01 but
would reject both "£" and "15.88" and "15.1" etc.
Comments would be welcome.
