Description Sandy Gao 2005-09-09 15:21:01 UTC 
Since RFC 1766 is now obsoleted by RFC 3066, we would like to submit that the 
XMLSchema spec. needs to 

Correct its language to parallel that of XML 1.0 (in the latter's reference to 
RFC 1766 "or its successor on the IETF Standards Track") thus dragging in RFC 
3066. 
Correct its language pattern according to the syntax defined therein, namely 
value="([a-zA-Z]{1,8})(-[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,8})*"

Comment 1 Sandy Gao 2005-09-09 15:21:17 UTC 
The WG resolved this at the May f2f, deciding to instruct the editors to draft 
erratum that substitutes 3066 for 1766, formulate an appropriate pattern and 
references the pattern instead of XML 1.0 2nd edition.
