Validating International Data Types

[Lindsey McNerney <li...@yahoo.com>]

Is there a way to use Xerces or W3C schema for that
matter to validate international data types, for
instance using a comma to indicate a decimal within a
number instead of a period?

Thank you.

To support interoperability, the number of lexical representations a
datatype can support was limited. So, no, there is no way to validate a
number that is formated with a different lexical representation than what is
prescribed in the XML Schema specification. The solution is to leave
formatting in the presentation layer of the application while sticking to
the basics in your XML document.
