As a non-committer my vote probably doesn't have any meaning, but someone additional working on datatype validation sounds like a very good thing.
So a +1 for me with one condition (or strong suggestion), I'd really recommend that he read at least the database sections of the schema help files that I announced on xml-dev and other places yesterday. The help files has a substantially amount of commentary on datatypes and other issues that he (and others working on xml schema structures or datatypes) may find informative. If you can't read HTMLHelp, I can email zip files of the raw HTML on request. ------------------------------ A HTMLHelp file for the 17 Dec W3C XML Schema Working Draft is now available for free download from AEA Technology - Engineering Software site at http://www.software.aeat.com/xml/resources.htm. This help file is being provided to assist the XML community in understanding and refining XML Schema as it approaches recommendation status. The help file is extensively crosslinked and indexed, supports full text search, has content model diagrams for all elements, and has links to pertinent public comments and xml-dev threads. This help file is not endorsed or approved in any way by the World Wide Web consortium or the W3C Schema working group. Comments and remarks in this document are strictly those of the author. In addition, a help file for a variant schema for schema that attempts to address several issues in the 17 Dec Working Draft is also available. The variant has no official standing and is presently solely to foster discussion on resolutions to the identified issues. A list of the issues covered appears on the contents page of the help file.
