The xsd test suit fails on leading '+' for unsigned types so I thought
that since the unsigned types are derived from nonNegativeInteger which
does allow leading '+'s then that maybe the unsigned types should allow
them also. Honestly, I'm not going to worry about; reading these specs
makes my head hurt ;-).
