Description

Due to the usage of the locale dependent strtod function in XMLDateTime::parseMiliSecond validation will fail, if

• locale specifies another character than '.' as 'DecimalPoint'
• subseconds are present

Schema datatype mandates that seconds and subseconds are separated by a '.', but strtod might expect a ',' (e.g. German locale) thus returning an error.

Issue is very much like XERCESX-993 (locale-sensitive function used to validate 'double' type) - fix should be identical.
