Patrick,

script should identify the script (as in set of/style of glyphs) .  We 
didn't pick a format that I recall.  ISO 15924 is still unfinished, but 
if we adopted its format for scripts plus allowed the extension 
mechanism, the regex would be ="([A-Z][a-z]{3}|x-[A-Za-z0-9]+)".  The 
alternative is just xs:string without any regex plus a best practice 
recommendation that people try to use ISO 15924 codes.
