Re:  Need an XPath expression which returns  all xs:pat
Hello Edward,

>>> matches(@value, '[a-zA-Z]+(\*|\+|\{\d(,.\})?)')

That assumes the regexes are all of this form:

<xs:pattern value="A*"/>

However, there are other forms that permit an unbounded number of characters,
such as:

<xs:pattern value="[0-9]{3}D*[ABC]"/>

That regex permits an unbounded number of D symbols.

I need an XPath expression that can detect an unbounded number of characters,
regardless of the complexity of the regex.
