Hi guys,

I have a question about hexBinary-implemantation from Charles:
why is the hexBinary restricted to 12 bytes ?

---cut----
+             if (i > 24)
+               goto return1;
---end of cut ---

I read the spec part 2 and couldn't find anything that says hexBinary has max 
length of 12. 
Have a look at 
http://www.w3.org/XML/2001/05/xmlschema-test-collection/resultNIST_hexBinary.htm
as I can see, there are much longer hexBinary values than 12 bytes.

best Regards,
Peter
