What is more, it pukes on durations that include months, apparently
because someone thought that M is ambiguous as between months and minutes.
This is not the case, because M means minutes only after a T has been seen
in 8601, whereas HTML5 is apparently permissive about T.  I do wish the
spec would provide either prose or code, rather than code masquerading
as prose.

So this is a case of failing to accept a syntax that is in the lexical
and the value space of XML Schema.
