Re: How to define a value space that is a cross-product of simpleType value spaces?

How about something like this for PersonName simpleType:

   <xs:simpleType name="Family-name">
       <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
           <xs:minLength value="3" />
           <xs:maxLength value="201" />
           <xs:pattern value="[a-zA-Z' \.\-]+\s+[A-Z]\s+[a-zA-Z' \.\-]+" />
       </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>

The length range [3-201] is reached using the addition of ranges of
individual types : [1-100], [1-1], [1-100].
The pattern is almost an concatenation of the individual regexes that you
are using for the 3 simpleTypes with following modifications ... the hyphen
was not escaped in the regex, it should be, else it would signify range...
added \s to allow for space(s) between middle name character and the either
side of it.
