XSD 1.0 Datatypes 4.3.1 defines the unit of length only for string, anyURI,
binary, and list; for QName it is implementation-defined. We had counted
characters, rejecting valid QName values. Like Xerces and the XSTS NIST set we
now treat length/minLength/maxLength on QName as always satisfied. Lexical
QName validity is still enforced.
The suite's contributors disagree here (NIST: non-constraining; Microsoft: a
character count), which the spec does not resolve, so a single behavior cannot
satisfy both. Net XSTS: valid instances rejected 547 to 502; 4 Microsoft cases
move to invalid instances accepted (257 to 261), recorded as a deliberate
interpretation in docs/xsts-deviations.md.
Refs #147, #129.
Turns the raw failure list into a worklist driven by understanding each rule,
not by chasing the count. Three categories: (A) genuine correctness bugs in
instance validation worth fixing (union restriction facets ~200, QName length
~36, regex Unicode blocks ~155, duration ordering ~50, particles/int facets);
(B) schema-for-schemas structural validity, the bulk of the 2467 invalid
schemas accepted, unimplemented by design and documented as a deliberate
exclusion; (C) arguable cases needing investigation. Records the evidence
sampled per cluster.
