This forum is for asking questions about using the XSD model not about
how to design XML Schemas. The XML Schema specification defines that
the integer data type behaves the way you describe so if you need
something different, i.e., that leading zeros are somehow meaningful,
you can't use that data type. Of course you can always pad with leading
zeros yourself...
