Is +0 allowed as a nonPositiveInteger? At the moment there's a contradiction. 
3.3.14.1 says "nonPositiveInteger has a lexical representation consisting of a 
negative sign ("-") followed by a finite-length sequence of decimal digits 
(#x30-#x39). If the sequence of digits consists of all zeros then the sign is 
optional." This doesn't allow +0. On the other hand 0 is in the value space of 
nonPositiveInteger and +0 is a legal representation of ) in the lexical space 
of integer. 

Either

(a) the prose in 3.3.14.1 needs fixing, or

(b) the schema for schema needs to add a pattern facet to the definition of 
nonPositiveInteger that excludes +0

If you do (b), then you will probably want to fix nonNegativeInteger to 
disallow "-0". However, at the moment there's no contradiction since the prose 
for nonNegativeInteger allows "an optional sign" not just an optional positive 
sign.
