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 item was first raised by Sandy Gao in May 2004 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004May/0047.html). This issue is for XML Schema 1.0; the analogous issue for 1.1 is bug 2250. The first constraint in 4.3.8.4 of the datatype spec says It is an error for both maxInclusive and maxExclusive to be specified in the same derivation step of a datatype definition. And the first constraint [2] in 4.3.9.4 says It is an error for both minInclusive and minExclusive to be specified for the same datatype. Clearly they don't match with each other. IMO, the one in 4.3.9.4 is incorrect, and should be changed to something similar to that in 4.3.8.4. At the face to face meeting of January 2006 in St. Petersburg, Florida, the WG adopted the proposal given above for XML Schema 1.1.
