I am sorry. I reported this two times before. This patch is related only for
xml functionality. XSD datestyle is only one internal constant. There are no
new datestyle (I hope so can be usefull). My patch is small bug fix like
Peter's patch for boolean datatype. Generating invalid xml is bug not
feature, no?

Primary I had to send this patch to Peter.

nice a day
