RE: Online validator: '[', ']', and '-' freely accepted in patterns

Michael, thanks for the reply.  I will try to look at the test suite, and
I will try to find out about getting Saxon-SA.  Meanwhile, since I am a
complete outsider, I wonder (fearful if I should embark on it) if it
would be in any way worthwhile for me to try to contribute anything to
the test suite.  Probably the tests that I have accumulated are a meagre
subset of the suite, but I do have a handfull of pattern tests.  Also the
GNU regex testbed comes to mind; I have been trying to put some time into
converting this to something that isn't geared toward whatever tool it
was designed for.

Thanks. Dave Evans.
