Thanks for the clarification.

This is better than I feared, but even so, why couldn't I use a
different date format or decimal separator in the transfer syntax ?

Because it's a bad practice for international exchange formats doesn't
mean it's a bad practice in all the other cases.

The programming languages and operating systems have learned to cope
with this, it's a very negative signal to send to make an exception for
W3C XML Schema.
