The fact that the schema language uses a different regular expression
language than the data model is by itself not a problem I think. What
is potentially a problem is that RFC 5424 syslog messages are UTF-8
and hence the regular expression language adopted should be able to
match on unicode characters. Does POSIX 1003.2 do that? (There also
needs to be a normative reference to POSIX 1003.2 or whatever is
finally adopted.)
