xercesj's compliance to w3 xml schema 1.0 test suite

[Mukul Gandhi <mu...@apache.org>]

Hi all,
   A while ago, we had copied Xerces-J's compliance reports with W3C
XML Schema 1.0 test suite, at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/java/branches/xml-schema-1.0-tests/w3c_xmlschema10-testsuite/reports/overall_xsd10_testsuite_results.html.

As you could see that, Xerces-J seems to be failing, quite a few
microsoft W3C XML Schema 1.0 tests (success % is reported as 95.43). I
had actually analyzed many of those reported microsoft test case
failures, and concluded that Xerces-J is in compliance with W3C XML
Schema 1.0 spec for many of those failing tests. One of the areas,
where Xerces-J is failing many microsoft W3C XML Schema 1.0 tests is
"regex". IMHO, I think, for many of those "regex" tests, microsoft's
interpretation of XML Schema 1.0 spec is wrong.

I guess, it'd be interesting, if people on this list, can analyze
Xerces-J's failures to W3C XML Schema 1.0 test suite (as reported at,
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/java/branches/xml-schema-1.0-tests/w3c_xmlschema10-testsuite/reports/overall_xsd10_testsuite_results.html),
and report their conclusions case-by-case on the list here, then
perhaps we could fix case-by-case if we're non-compliant.

Xerces-J's compliance reports for W3C XML Schema 1.1 test suite
(available at, https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/java/branches/xml-schema-1.1-tests/w3c_xmlschema11-testsuite/reports/overall_xsd11_testsuite_results.html),
seems to be nice and we don't seem to need to take any actions for W3C
XML Schema 1.1 tests.
