Yes, it should be OK. Xerces C++ validates it OK. If you just want to constrain the length of the string, it's a better idea to use the min/max facets instead, I think: <xsd:simpleType name="Fred"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:minLength value="1" /> <xsd:maxLength value="30" /> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> Or you could try using: (\p{L}|\p{N}|\s)+ instead - see if XML Spy can manage that any better.
