Data Model Section 3.3.3 (Storing xs:dateTime, xs:date, and xs:time values): This section says that ". . . Implementations must keep track of both of these values . . .", meaning the date or time converted to UTC and a separate timezone expressed as a dayTimeDuration. But the definitions of element and attribute nodes do not provide any way to do this. The data model lists all the properties of each kind of node. The properties of an element node are base-uri, node-name, parent, type, children, attributes, namespaces, and nilled. None of these properties provide a way to store a separate timezone if the element contains an xs:time. If the data model requires some piece of information to be stored for an element or attribute node, then it must provide a property for this purpose. This is an example of the kind of problem that will be exposed by carefully specifying the types of the various node properties.
