It is nice to see that things are moving in the good direction.
I would insist on the necessity of (overloaded) constructors
accepting numeric arguments for date/time times [with an
optional timezone argument]
xs:date( $year as integer, $month as integer, $day as integer )
xs:time( $hours as integer, $minutes as integer, $seconds as double )
xs:dateTime( $year as integer, $month as integer, $day as integer,
$hours as integer, $minutes as integer, $seconds as double,
$timezone as duration? )
xs:gYear( $year as integer )
etc.
Currently it is not easy at all to synthesize a date/time from
numeric values: one has to build a string representation (but there
is no format function!) then cast to the proper date/time type.
This would make the function set closed by allowing any kind
of computation.
