Parser cannot handle leap years? simpler example

Question

Here is a simpler example. If you change the <aDate> to 2001-02-29 the instance document still validates. However 2001-02-30 fails, as it should and 2001-02-28 validates, as it should.
The schema, d.xsd:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://localhost/d"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<element name="example">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="aDate" type="xsd:date"></element>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</xsd:schema>
and the instance document d.xml with an incorrect date:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<example xmlns="http://localhost/d"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
xsd:schemaLocation="http://localhost/d
http://localhost.emv2.com/1914/d.xsd">
<aDate> 2001-02-29</aDate>
</example>
I used the XSDSample.java file provided with the xdk9 for validation.
Any ideas?

I've tried 9.0.2 beta and I get the same behaviour.
I can also reproduce the same behaviour by taking the catalogue.xml and cat.xsd example in the xdk/demo/java/schema directory.
I changed the Date element type from "year" to "date" and modified the <Date> elements in catalogue.xml appropriately (e.g. 1954-02-28 instead of just 1954).
I get the same behaviour, Feb. 29 always passes validation no matter what year, Feb. 30 always fails:
Here's what it says when it fails on Feb. 30
file:/tmp/xdk92/xdk/demo/java/schema/catalogue.xml<Line 14, Column 40>: XSD-2025: (Error) Invalid text '1977-02-30' in element: 'Date'
Parser Exception: Invalid text '1977-02-30' in element: 'Date'
I'm using the Linux versions, if that makes a difference.
Also, I've tried referencing the xml instance two ways, via a file reference /home/ssimm...
and via a URL http://localhost/.... The behaviour is consistent. (I don't think this should make a difference, I'm just trying to get the behaviour to change)
Any ideas?
