Problem enforcing length on list of booleans
I recently tried to use a schema list to enforce the length of a list of
booleans (I needed seven for the days of the week). I have encountered a
situation that does not seem to make sense to me. I have been successful in
enforcing length with other types but not boolean.
When I first encountered the problem, I referred back to the example in the
Schema Part 0 : Primer. Much to my surprise, the example .xsd was
successful in enforcing the length facet of the list of US-States. I began
to experiment but have not been able to define the problem any better than
the examples contained in the attached short files.
My question is: "Is this a true problem or have I missed something?" I
have not worked with schemas long enough to have confidence that I have not
overlooked something but on the surface, the differences in behavior seem
puzzling.
I have a workaround. Simply defining my own boolean as a string restricted
by enumeration to "true" or "false" is successful but I am curious if there
is not a better answer.
