Unfortunately when the extension was introduced in OC, the current
intention is that it is only a top-level module extension used to
"signal" to the module consumer on how to interpret the existing pattern
statement.  This obviously does not suffice unless all tools understand
this extension to then diverge the spec.

This has been talked abt many times and still an issue.  In my
conversations, the intention here is however to revert all current
pattern statements to XSD compliant w/ a possible parallel statement for
the posix-pattern
