issue-121 (Re: Locale Filter - exclusion)

Hi Yves,

sounds good to me. It just seems that this should influence conformance 
testing (not the schema, it seems), e.g. have a test with "!" and 
provide a different output, no? I filled an issue to keep track of this, 
let's see what others say.

Best,

Felix
