In section 3.10.10, the second example is:
 <time datetime="2006-09-24 05:00 -7">

However, the algorithm given in 3.2.4.2 for parsing date or time strings requires that the timezone hour offset be exactly 2 digits.  (This is the same requirement ISO 8601 has.)  Hence, the example as given is invalid according to the provided parser algorithm, since it has only 1 digit.
