The XML Schema WG divided our comments into 6 "bugs" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6043 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6044 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6045 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6046 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6047 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6048 You can follow along the discussion if you want. Substantive results: 1/ The XML Schema WG agrees that using a continuous timeline is compatible with xsd:dateTime. It also notes that applications may have to be cognisant of gaps in accessible moments due to leap seconds. 2/ The XML Schema WG noted that the sloppy end of the timezone values has been present from version 1.0 and is thus difficult to change. As this doesn't affect OWL, I don't see any reason to gripe further. 3/ The XML Schema WG agrees that minimal conformance for xsd:decimal is broken. It appears to be moving towards the obvious fix as an editorial change to its documents. I have updated Syntax to note this fact. 4/ The request to improve discussion of infinite datatypes was accepted as an editorial fix. I don't believe that there is any need to follow this any further. Temporary results: 1/ There is discussion of how to provide a dateTime with required timezones. I'm following along and contributing. 2/ There is discussion of how to pitch repairs to dateTime values with missing timezone. I'm following along and contributing. peter
