This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This issue was originally reported by I18n WG. Address localization concerns regarding Part 2: Datatypes. See (member-only link) http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/xmlschema-current/lcissues.html#i18n-dt-misdirected: LC-207. Input from Straw Poll O-6 NOTE 2002-08-02: this needs to be analysed into its constituent items, and each item acted on individually. This item was postponed in the meeting of 2004-04-22 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Apr/0207.html). According to the requirements document, this topic was discussed in the past and was postponed for later reconsideration.
At the face to face meeting of January 2006 in St. Petersburg, the Working Group decided not to take further action on this issue in XML Schema 1.1. (This issue was not discussed separately; it was one of those which were dispatched by a blanket decision that all other open issues would be closed without action, unless raised again in last-call comments.) Some members of the Working Group expressed regret over not being able to resolve all the issues dealt with in this way, but on the whole the Working Group felt it better not to delay Datatypes 1.1 in order to resolve all of them. This issue should have been marked as RESOLVED /WONTFIX at that time, but apparently was not. I am marking it that way now, to reduce confusion.
