Regular Expressions:  '.' in a Character Group

           Summary: Regular Expressions:  '.' in a Character Group
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.0.0 [beta]
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 9x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: binstock@pacifier.net


The Regular Expression "[.]" is matching the '.' character.  My understanding 
from the Recommendation is that this should be treated as a multiple character 
escape.  That is, the RE "[.]" should be identical to the RE ".", which is the 
same as the RE "[^\r\n]"
