Martin: The schema for your format is not difficult to write but before that The CCYYMMDD format should allow an optional negative sign and five characters in the CCYY format. To write the schema, you would first create a simple type that restricts "string" with a pattern corresponding to the format discussed above. This pattern should, as far as possible only allow legal date values i.e. the first D in the DD field should allow only 0,1,2 or 3. The bigger problem is whether you want to disallow February 30 and November 31 with a pattern.

If you need to markup some actual text in another format, or you otherwise want to keep another format, I suggest you use something like <date value='CCYY-MM-DD'>CCYYMMDD</date> Regards, Martin. P.S.: If somebody can write a schema for the above fragment, we'll probably add it (in one form or another) to the type library.
