           Summary: This syntax for valid time strings does not work for
                    other locales. In Italy, they use a "." for the
                    separator instead of a colon. The tags using a time
                    string need to allow for a locale attribute so that
                    the syntax can be determined, OR this syntax needs

Comment:
This syntax for valid time strings does not work for other locales. In Italy,
they use a "." for the separator instead of a colon. The tags using a time
string need to allow for a locale attribute so that the syntax can be
determined, OR this syntax needs to be extended to cover all the variations in
the world.
