Date with constraining facet minInclusive (timezone related)

[David Valera]

Hello,

Say you have the following XML instance:

<Date>2000-01-01+02:00</Date>

and the following schema:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="date">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:date">
<xs:minInclusive value="2000-01-01"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

According to the W3C spec the dates are compared but since one of them
has no timezone then it is not possible to determinate if the date in
the instance is chronologically greater.

My question is, what must a validating parser do? generate an error or
not?

I might have a bug in a validating parser if an error should be
raised....
