请参阅下面的XSD,从XSD生成的可序列化类,以及处理XSD序列化的序列化助手类.

XSD：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <xs:schema id="test" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <xs:element name="testInformation">
       <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
             <xs:element name="DateOfBirth" minOccurs="0">
               <xs:simpleType>
                 <xs:restriction base="xs:date">
                   <xs:pattern value="\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}" />
                 </xs:restriction>
               </xs:simpleType>
             </xs:element>
           </xs:sequence>
         </xs:complexType>
      </xs:element>

为什么将DateTime值序列化为空字符串？
