Hah, no wonder I didn't understand how it worked! Well, at least the
Axis implementation is efficient :-)

The XML Schema doc I'm reading at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/
says there are exactly four allowed literals: {true, false, 1, 0}
I don't know if that's case sensitive or not.
The same document says that only {true, false} are canonical. I
believe that's all Axis emits.
In my research I found some griping about the English-centric nature
of this coding, but no resolution. Earlier documents talk about "yes"
and "no" as also being valid literals, but I don't see that in the W3C
docs.
Isn't it amazing how even the *most simple datatype possible* is
difficult to implement correctly?
