Aussie Susan:
The problem is that, without the boundary placeholders, it will match the start of "34.56.78" etc.. Sure it will pick out a valid number, but there needs to be something that forces it go try to go to the end of the text.

No 34.56.78 wouldn't match
I think you misunderstood what I was saying. XML Schema regexes must match the entire input. The ^ and $ placeholders are not allowed/used but they are implied.
The XML Schema pattern xyz would be like ^xzy$ in other engines.
