Does Daffodil support calendarCheckPolicy="lax"?

[Dr. Roger L Costello]

Hi Folks,

It is my understanding that if calendarCheckPolicy="lax" then any leading 
and/or trailing whitespace around a date value is ignored. That is not the 
behavior that I am getting. I get this error message:

Parse Error: Convert to Date (for xs:date): Failed to parse '  1970-11-06  ' at 
character 13.

Here's my DFDL schema:

<xs:element name="SimpleDataFormat">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="Birthday" type="xs:date" 
                dfdl:calendarCheckPolicy="lax"
                dfdl:calendarFirstDayOfWeek="Sunday"
                dfdl:calendarDaysInFirstWeek="5" 
                dfdl:calendarTimeZone="UTC+6"
                dfdl:calendarPatternKind="implicit"
                dfdl:calendarLanguage="en"
            />
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Why am I getting the above error message?
