[Mono-devel-list] XML Schema Facet validation

[Atsushi Eno]

David, great works!! It actually fixes several facet problems and it
looks closer to MS.NET. Thank you!

I just found that internal XmlSchemaFacet.Facet enumeration cannot be
used in protected member signatures (it looks mcs bug that passes this).

Please feel free to go ahead after fixing them (it is so little ;-).
