        The type declaration is based upon xs:double, restricting 
further by the use of pattern should mean the two patterns are ANDed 
together. I was working
        on a vague assumption that . works like a 'super' character 
class for ANDed patterns.
        I'm not convinced about the use of . either - However, since I 
find regular expressions as much fun as pulling teeth, I thought I'd 
give it a go..

    I may well take you up on that offer!

thanks
