Incorrect validation of dateTime strings

           Summary: Incorrect validation of dateTime strings
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: XML Schema datatypes
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mflacy1@attbi.com


The following string given as a dateTime value will pass validation tests:

2003-03-12T08:58:58:28Z

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-2-20010502/#dateTime, that
is not a valid dateTime value.

org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.xs.AbstractDateTimeDV.getTime() fails to test the
character following the seconds values for one of ".Z+-".  The comments also
indicate that value following the "." is going to be in milliseconds, which is
also an incorrect assumption.

Just to rub it in, XMLSpy caught this in a file that passed Xerces2-J validation.
