Description

This is a constructor function that takes an item value as argument and returns a value of type xs:NCName. If the argument is a string literal, then the literal must be a valid lexical form of its type.

As specified in the respective section of the W3C recommendation XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, a value of type xs:NCName denotes a "non-colonized" XML name, as defined in the XML 1.0 recommendation. It is derived from the type xs:Name and the lexical form of xs:Name is the set of all strings that match the production of Name. Practically, a value of type xs:NCName is the same as of type xs:Name with the only exception that it may not contain a colon.
