I propose dropping these two sentences altogether. The obvious, unsatisfying justification is that the BNF for timezones from -14 to +14 (see [1]) is easier to specify than the BNF for timezones from -12 to +14. The -840 to +840 minute range matches -14 to +14 hour range. -- Mike Smith Clark & Parsia [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xmlschema11-2-20080620/#nt-tzFragReceived on Wednesday, 20 August 2008 17:01:34 UTC
