Re: webschema-ISSUE-22 (openingHours x2): Schema.org has two ways to express opening hours [Feedback on Schema.org]

Dear all,
Maybe the openingHours property in http://schema.org/LocalBusiness 
should be removed. There are two reasons for that:
1. The goal of Schema.org is to create a structured vocabulary, while 
the value describing openingHours is not structured, it is a text 
content which has to be parsed.
2. The http://schema.org/Duration is an ISO8601 duration which is not a 
time.

The GoodRelations allows wide solutions to markup opening hours in a 
structured manner. Here are some examples from 
http://getschema.org/index.php?title=OpeningHoursSpecification:


      Example 1

The clinic of Dr. John Doe a physician 
<http://getschema.org/index.php?title=Physician&action=edit&redlink=1> 
in London is opened as below:


<div  itemtype="http://schema.org/Physician"  itemscope>
    <div  itemprop="name">Dr. John Doe Clinic</div>
    <div  itemprop="openingHoursSpecification">
       <div  itemtype="http://schema.org/OpeningHoursSpecification"  itemscope>
          <div  itemprop="dayOfWeek">Monday</div>
          <div>
             <span>

             <span>-</span>
             <span>
                <meta  itemprop="closes"  content="12:00:00">
