Sperberg-McQueen <cmsmcq@w3.org> 2008-09-09 02:49:59 --- Speaking for myself, I think the intention you describe is indeed compatible with XSD 1.1's definition of the datatypes in question. It should be pointed out, however, that the timeline in question is not necessarily continous -- or at least, that its mapping onto UTC is not continuous. Since XSD 1.1 does not provide for, support, use, or countenance leap seconds, the values of our dateTime datatype map discontinuously onto the UTC timeline. If this matters in your use of the type, be careful. (Of course, many systems handle leap seconds in roughly the same way XSD does; by scrupulously noting their existence, but ignoring them for almost all practical purposes.) -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.Received on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 02:50:35 GMT
