Format for xsd:date contents?

As far as I can tell from Datatypes 3.3.27, the format of an element of
type xsd:date should be CCCC-MM-DD. But when I validate:

<last_modified>May 16, 1999</last_modified>

or even

<last_modified>fried potatoes</last_modified>

against

<xsd:element name="last_modified" type="xsd:date"/>

XSV gives me no error. Is that a bug, or doesn't it care what the date
looks like?

Thanks,
Liz
