5.1 Partial Implementation of Infinite Datatypes

A minimally conforming XML Schema 1.0 processor was required to support a
duration value with 4 digits in the year component. This limit has been raised
to "All ˇminimally conformingˇ processors must support duration values with
from -2,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 months and from -2,000,000 to 2,000,000
seconds." This seems excessive.
