Because using a fixed Z timezone simplifies applications for which xsd:datetime is only used to unambiguously encode a point in time -- not also a location. Again, different applications have different needs. Just because this will not help *all* applications does not mean that it won't help *some* applications. The more we can make RDF manipulable by simple tools as often as possible the better, even if it cannot be done 100% of the time. -- David Booth, Ph.D. http://dbooth.org/ Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of his employer.
