Description Michael Kay 2006-11-24 17:51:36 UTC 
The escape \xXX is not allowed in the XML Schema regular expression syntax. The following tests in TestSet MS-Regex2006-07-15 break this rule. The tests are wrongly described as valid.

RegexTest_57
RegexTest_163
RegexTest_164
RegexTest_165
RegexTest_166
RegexTest_167
RegexTest_168
RegexTest_169
RegexTest_170
RegexTest_171
RegexTest_172
RegexTest_173
RegexTest_174
RegexTest_440
RegexTest_518
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2008-06-21 14:25:26 UTC 
Agreed that these patterns (and therefore these schemas) are invalid.
Comment 2 Henry S. Thompson 2009-01-13 15:59:38 UTC 
RegexTest_440 data has the bug, but no test in the metaData actually refers to 
it as far as I can tell
