This is the correct interpretation I believe.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#regexs
says
A single XML character is a ·character range· that identifies the set
of characters containing only itself. All XML characters are valid
character ranges, except as follows:
...
The - character is a valid character range only at the beginning or
end of a ·positive character group·.
which means that you can (should be able to) use - to mean itself as the
last character in a [] group.
