Description Michael Kay 2006-03-03 17:48:52 UTC 
The data file atomic.xml contains the following data for an element of type
xs:gMonth:

<atomic:gMonth>--12--</atomic:gMonth> 

This is invalid. XML Schema Part 2 says:

The lexical representation for gMonth is the left and right truncated lexical
representation for date: --MM. An optional following time zone qualifier is
allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. 

[History: the first issue of XML schema part 2 incorrectly gave the format of
gMonth as --M--. This was corrected by subsequent erratum. Many Schema
processors continue to accept the invalid --M-- format because they get less
hassle from users if they do: many textbooks, for example, have blindly copied
the error from the original spec. However, it's invalid according to the current
normative spec.]

Thanks.  I will have to take a close look at this as it may affect a number of tests.

Thanks,

Correct.  Fixed file.  I believe, this will not affect any tests.  Please close
the bug if in agreement and able to verify.
