This issue was originally reported by Mike Cowlishaw.

Allow negative values for the fractionDigits facet.

See
http://www.w3.org/2000/12/xmlschema-crcomments.html#negative-scale:
CR-22.

This item was discussed in the meeting of 2004-04-01
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Apr/0003.html).

The treatment of precisionDecimal in the current working draft of XML
Schema 1.1 allows negative scale in precision decimal values by means
of allowing negative exponents (e.g. 23E-24), but the fractionDigits
facet continues not to allow negative values.  [The WG presumably needs
to consult with Mike Cowlishaw to know whether the current draft
actually meets the requirement.  In the meantime, I'm marking this
one 'resolved'.]
