  Cool, applied just in time for the next release. I just had to remove
the support for '+' in unsigned types, as far as I can tell the spec does
not allow them:
  3.3.21.1 Lexical representation (unsignedLong)
  unsignedLong has a lexical representation consisting of a finite-length
  sequence of decimal digits (#x30-#x39). For example: 0, 12678967543233,
  100000.

 I think it's relatively clear it does not allow a leading '+', I could not
find anything in the errata about this either:
  http://www.w3.org/2001/05/xmlschema-errata
so even if surprizing, it's the status-quo :-\

  thanks a lot !
