Puzzles me as well. At first, I suspected the problem might just be that Gump
uses a more up-to-date Xerces than the one distributed with FOP. We still have
2.7.1 in the lib directory, while the latest available release is 2.11. Then
again, that version was released over 6 months ago...?

Could this point to a quirk in util.regex, or its use in the XML Schema
implementation in the version of Open JDK that Gump is compiling with?
At any rate, the starting '\(' does indeed seem to be an invalid escape
sequence (Shouldn't it be '\\(' if it needs to match a literal bracket?)
It is present as-is, on our end in
src/documentation/intermediate-format-ng/fop-intermediate-format-ng-datatypes.xsd.
I am not an XML Schema expert, but that pattern does seem to be odd. Not sure
why the leading backslash is needed...
That file hasn't changed in over 2 years, though. :-/
