Schema Simple Type Union 1

[Frink]

Hallo,

I want to specify a Latitude as a simple type, which I do as follows:

  <xs:simpleType name="csecLatitude">
    <xs:union memberTypes="csecLatitude00To89 csecLatitude90"/>
  </xs:simpleType>
  <xs:simpleType name="csecLatitude00To89">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:pattern value="[0-8][0-9] [0-5][0-9].[0-5][0-9] [NS]"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
  <xs:simpleType name="csecLatitude90">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:pattern value="90 00.00 [NS]"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>

It's not quite as simple as a single pattern as '90 59.59' is not allowed, so I've used a union to allow the North and South Poles.
Is there any way of containing csecLatitude00To89 and csecLatitude90 within csecLatitude, as they don't make sense on their own, so would be best to hide them.

Use or operator? Like this.
[tt]
<xs:simpleType name="csecLatitude">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xsattern value="(90 00.00|[0-8][0-9] [0-5][0-9].[0-5][0-9]) [NS]"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
[/tt]

Amendment

Upon re-reading, I think you, and my above posting as well, have to further escape the "dot" separator to be 100% numeric latitude (otherwise 90 00x00 would validate as well which may not be discovered at the first instance with incomplete test set).

<xs:simpleType name="csecLatitude">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xsattern value="(90 00[red]\[/red].00|[0-8][0-9] [0-5][0-9][red]\[/red].[0-5][0-9]) [NS]"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
[/tt]
