In my version of the proposals, I perform lexical analysis of @datetime against xsd:date, xsd:dateTime and xsd:time and choose the datatype based on the match. It's quite simple.

This would mean the transformation of the <time> element into: > > <time property="something" datetime="2009-05-10" content="2009-05-10T00:00:00-00:00" datatype="xsd:dateTime">May 10th 2009</time> > > but there are a bunch of others, like gYear, gYearMonth, etc. > > Personally, I would propose to use xsd:dateTime only.

But I would expect that in the vast majority of cases the hour and minute and the others will all be missing. Is it all right to just add the 0 hour, as Stéphane did it? Again, I can live with that, but this is something to be decided and known for interoperability reasons... > > Minor things, but should be cast in stone:-) > > Ivan > > > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/97 > > ---- > Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead > Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ > mobile: +31-641044153 > FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf > > > > > >
