I should have included both links:  The spec for double refers to the
spec for decimal, and it's the decimal spec that allows the "." in the
mantissa portion of a double.

$ xmllint --schema t.xsd t.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<t>FooBar</t>
t.xml:1: element t: Schemas validity error : Element 't': 'FooBar' is not a valid value of the atomic type 
'xs:double'.
t.xml fails to validate
