• The number of units allowed in a value

• For strings (string, normalizedString, token, QName, NCname, ID, IDREF, language, anyURI, ENTITY, NOTATION, and NMTOKEN) the units are characters

• For lists (IDREFS, ENTITIES, and NMTOKENS) the units are tokens

• For binary types (hexBinary, base64Binary) the units are bytes after decoding
