A good question. I think we should say the following.  If you use the RELAX
NG compatibility datatypes library, then you cannot use facets; if you use
the XML Schema datatypes library, you can use whatever facets XML Schema
allows.  The XML Schema datatypes are only aliases of the compatibility
datatypes as far as the compatibility processor is concerned, and the facets
are irrelevant to the compatibility processor.
