Description

If the maxLength limit is exceeded in an enumeration, Xerces engine does not report this error.
If I use Saxon engine I get en warning message:
"Enumeration value "REQUESTED_CHARGE" is not a valid instance of the type: it contravenes the maxLength facet"
You can find below a sample schema. I tested on the xml-schema-1.1-dev branch.

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xsd:simpleType name="PaymentStatus">
        <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
            <xsd:maxLength value="15"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="AWAIT_PAY_INFO"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="AWAIT_AUTH"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="REQUESTED_AUTH"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="REQUESTED_CHARGE"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="PAID"/>
        </xsd:restriction>
