Error in .NET schema implementation for xs:token

[Jirka Kosek <jirka@kosek.cz>]

Hi,

I was playing with schema support in .NET and found something which 
seems as a bug to me.

Assume that we defined element firstname as xs:token:

<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:token"/>

and document instance contains:

<firstname> John </firstname>

I thought that this should validate as xs:token whitespace handling is 
"collapse" and leading and trailing spaces shouldn't be part of lexical 
space from which is value converted to value space on which data-type 
validation should operate. But .NET parser report this as error. (BTW 
Xerces accept this without complaints.)

Is this a known bug in .NET or am I missing something in W3C XML Schema 
/this will not be surprise for me :-(/?
