RE: NEW ISSUE: Schema tweaks

That's a good idea. After all, this is what xs:duration was invented for.
 
If you want an explicit 32 days (for example) you can use 32D. There may well be occasions where you want 1M (try again next month, same day). Indeed, it's conceivable that a university admissions system might want to say "try again next year" - duration 1Y.

	They seem much more complicated then a simple integer.
	
	For example, the length of a duration depends on when you send it (e.g.,
	1M1D could be anywhere from 29 to 32 days).
