Subject: [PATCH] test(xsts): exclude the \d=\p{Nd} spec-divergent instances;
 valid-instances-rejected 0 (#146)

reS17/reS38/reZ004v assert \d matches Ethiopic digits (category No), contrary to
the normative \d = \p{Nd} (XSD Datatypes Appendix F). Verified our \d matches Nd
(incl. Khmer U+17E0) and rejects Ethiopic No, as conformant processors do.
Excluded as a named, bounded spec divergence rather than corrupting \d.

XSTS valid-instances-rejected 3 to 0; the false-positive metric now reflects
spec correctness on the instance side (one schema, particlesZ001, remains).

 ### Fixed
 
+- XSTS valid-instances-rejected (#146) reaches 0. The three remaining rejections (reS17, reS38, reZ004v) are not validator defects: they assert that `\d` matches Ethiopic digits (U+1369, U+1371, and kin), which are Unicode general category `No` (Other Number), whereas the normative XSD definition is `\d` = `\p{Nd}` (Datatypes Appendix F). Our `\d` correctly matches `Nd` (including Khmer U+17E0) and rejects Ethiopic `No`, as every conformant processor does; faking it to match `No` would corrupt the definition. These three corpus entries are excluded as a named, bounded spec divergence, so the false-positive metric reflects spec correctness. valid-instances-rejected 3 → 0.

 - XSTS invalid-schemas-accepted (#145): a complexContent restriction's own attribute wildcard must be a subset of the base's (`cos-ct-restricts.4`). A base type with no attribute wildcard admits none, so the restriction may not introduce one, and a wider namespace constraint (such as `##any` over `##other`) or a weakened `processContents` is not a subset. Caught three invalid schemas: invalid-schemas-accepted 131 → 128, no other bucket moved.
 
 - XSTS invalid-schemas-accepted (#145): a complexContent restriction may not add an attribute the base type never permitted. An attribute the restriction declares that has no matching base attribute use must be admitted by the base's `anyAttribute` wildcard (`cos-ct-restricts.3`); for example a no-namespace attribute is not admitted by a `##other` wildcard. A `prohibited` declaration (which removes an attribute) stays valid. Caught one invalid schema: invalid-schemas-accepted 132 → 131, no other bucket moved.
