This issue was originally reported by Xan Gregg.

Dependencies of schema processing on canonical lexical representations
should be removed.  This will eliminate the need for processors to
ever produce a canonical representation, for example for a default
value.  This will also address RQ-126 (#restrict-can-forms).

Rewrite Structures to eliminate dependency on canonical forms.

See thread starting at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2002Dec/0079.html
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2002Dec/0079.html).

[N.B. the requirement is not, as sometimes paraphrased, to make
canonical lexical representations non-normative, but to remove
dependencies on them.]

This item was discussed in the meeting of 2003-11-04
(http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2003/11/xml-schema-ftf-minutes.html)

This item was discussed, and phase-1 agreement was reached, in the
meeting of 2004-03-19
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Mar/0072.html).

This requirement applies to both Structures and Datatypes; this Bugzilla
entry is for Datatypes.  The Structures equivalent is bug 1849.

No dependencies on canonical forms currently exist in the Datatypes
spec, so I am marking this resolved.
