Exactly. The reason for this is that the interface between an RNG validator
and its datatype libraries is deliberately dumbed down. A validator can,
in essence, only ask two questions of a type:
1) Is this string a valid instance of you?
2) Are these two strings equal according to your definition of equality?
That being so, there is no way for a positive integer to report something
like "No, this string is invalid, but if you chop off at least two but
no more than five characters from the end, it is valid", which is what
would be required in order to validate something like "xsd:integer,xsd:lang".
