How can I define an XML XSD type to describe the subset of “double” excluding “NaN”...

I have an existing XSD where the type for an element is specified as "double", according to the spec this restricts the valid values to:




1) the non-zero numbers m × 2e , where m is an integer whose absolute value is less than 253, and e is an integer between −1074 and 971, inclusive.
2) In addition to these values, the ·value space· of double also contains the following ·special values·: positiveZero, negativeZero, positiveInfinity, negativeInfinity, and notANumber.




I am fine with the first part, but I want to disallow/exclude the following:




  • positiveInfinity

  • negativeInfinity

  • notANumber (NaN)


What is the XML XSD syntax/definition to define this new type, that represents "double, except for positiveInfinity, negativeInfinity, notANumber (NaN)'.

          You can probably achieve this with a restriction



          <xs:element name="myDouble">
          <xs:simpleType>
          <xs:restriction base="xs:double">
          <xs:minExclusive value="-INF"/>
          <xs:maxExclusive value="INF"/>
          </xs:restriction>
          </xs:simpleType>
          </xs:element>


          Note : NaN seems to be also stopped by <xs:maxExclusive value="INF"/>




          ERROR: Element 'myDouble': [facet 'maxExclusive'] The value 'NaN' must
          be less than 'INF'.




          I've tried it and it work with



          <myDouble>123.456</myDouble> <!-- OK -->
          <myDouble>+1234.456</myDouble> <!-- OK -->
          <myDouble>-1.2344e56</myDouble> <!-- OK -->
          <myDouble>-.45E-6</myDouble> <!-- OK -->
          <myDouble>INF</myDouble> <!-- KO -->
          <myDouble>-INF</myDouble> <!-- KO -->
          <myDouble>NaN</myDouble> <!-- KO -->

            XSD 1.1 is explicit: "NaN is ·incomparable· with any value in the ·value space· including itself." "Any value ·incomparable· with the value used for the four bounding facets (·minInclusive·, ·maxInclusive·, ·minExclusive·, and ·maxExclusive·) will be excluded from the resulting restricted ·value space·."
