Printed | Page 27 4th paragraph (xs:NCName) |
Concerning the examples given, "-1950-10-04:10-00" is not a valid value and should be replaced with "_1950-10-04:10-00". |

Printed | Page 27 3rd paragraph (xs:Name) |
The text states: '[xs:Name] is similar to xs:NMTOKEN with the additional restriction that the values must start with a letter or the characters ":" or "-". This datatype conforms to the XML 1.0 definition of a "Name"'. Within the same paragraph, '-1950-10-04-10:00' is offered as a valid example. |

Instead of "xs:double and xs:float for single and double precision floats" it would be clearer to write "xs:single and xs:double for single and double precision floats". |

27 Explanation of xs:NMTOKEN |
It seems odd (or wrong) to say "This [i.e., xs:NMTOKEN] corresponds to the XML 1.0 "Nmtoken" (Name token) production, which is a single token (a set of characters without spaces) composed of characters allowed in XML Name." The odd text is "allowed in XML Name", as if "XML Name" were the name of some previously defined component of the XML Schema Definition. Maybe this sentence should read: "allowed in xs:Name". |
