This might be an academic question but I wonder if there is specified order of preference for processing the dateTime descriptions if there are inconcistencies. This was triggered by the example "DateTimeDescription vs dateTime" [1] where the same instant is described in two different ways. If those two descriptions were inconsistent (e. g. inXSDDateTime specified January 1st and inDateTime January 2nd), which one should a processing application prefer? I guess that the answer is "that is implementation-specific", but it might help to add some text to the specification. My suggestion would be: [[ If the same temporal entity is described more than once, the possibility arises that the descriptions differ or are inconsistent (e. g. one description states 1 January 2006 and the other 2 January 2006). The exact behaviour of a consuming application is such a case is out of scope for this specification. However, it is RECOMMENDED that is alerts the user, e. g. by issuing a warning. ]] [1] https://w3c.github.io/sdw/time/#dtd-vs-dt Best, Lars *** Lesen. Hören. Wissen.
