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.
