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.
