http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1891 Summary: R-128: Question re: leading zeros for gYearMonth and gMonth Product: XML Schema Version: 1.0 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: XSD Part 2: Datatypes AssignedTo: cmsmcq@w3.org ReportedBy: sandygao@ca.ibm.com QAContact: www-xml-schema-comments@w3.org It is not precisely clear from the XML Schema Datatypes specification whether leading zeros are permitted in instances of gYearMonth and gYear when (the absolute value of) the year in question is outside the range of 0001 to 9999. However, in the otherwise analogous passage of the specification of dateTime, such ambiguity is not present (such leading zeros are prohibited), and a reasonable interpretation in these other two cases is to straightforwardly follow that precedent.
