Sorry for the late response. Yes, you are right: "2e2" is not a valid
decimal, hence not a valid integer.
I bet you are using a 1.3+ JDK. Xerces uses the BigDecimal class to
parse/represent decimal values. JDK 1.2 and earlier versions don't
recognize things like "2e2" as BigDecimal, but from 1.3, "2e2" is valid.
So we have a decision to make: either write our own decimal-parsing code,
or continue to use BigDecimal and leave it as a WONTFIX bug.

Hello.
I declare an element of type "integer" which is described
in "XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes". Then, an element
information item is set to "2e2". Validation is passed.
I think that is incorrect behaviour,
because the specification reads:
3.3.13.1 Lexical representation
integer has a lexical representation consisting of a
finite-length sequence of decimal digits (#x30-#x39)
with an optional leading sign. If the sign is omitted,
"+" is assumed. For example: -1, 0, 12678967543233,
+100000.
am I right?
Thanks.
