Description Michael Kay 2006-11-24 17:47:29 UTC 
The escapes \p and \P must be followed by {...}. The following
tests in TestSet MS-Regex2006-07-15 break this rule. The tests are wrongly described as valid.

RegexTest_51
RegexTest_52
RegexTest_53
RegexTest_54
RegexTest_55
RegexTest_56
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2008-06-21 14:23:33 UTC 
Agreed that these patterns (and therefore these schemas) are invalid.
