Description Michael Kay 2006-11-24 17:55:17 UTC 
The escape \A 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_194
RegexTest_195
RegexTest_196
RegexTest_197
RegexTest_198
RegexTest_199
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2008-06-21 14:27:03 UTC 
Agreed that these patterns (and therefore these schemas) are invalid.
