22.9.2.16 ST_UnsignedDecimalNumber

This simple type specifies that its contents contain a positive whole decimal number, whose contents are interpreted based on the context of the parent XML element.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment:

<w:pPr>
  <w:divId w:val="1512645511" />
</w:pPr>

The value of the val attribute is the ID of the associated HTML div.

However, consider the following fragment:

<w:ilvl w:val="1">
  …
</w:ilvl>

In this case, the decimal number in the val attribute is the ID of the associated numbering level. In each case, the decimal number value is interpreted in the context of the parent element. end example]

This simple type’s contents are a restriction of the W3C XML Schema unsignedLong datatype.

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this simple type’s content model (ST_UnsignedDecimalNumber) is located in A.6.9. end note]
