Working Group Note: Time Zones

  Based on discussions with the XQuery and XSL Working Groups, the
  Internationalization Core Working Group has released "Working with Time
  Zones" as a Working Group Note. The document discusses problems
  encountered when working with the date, time, and dateTime values from
  XML Schema when time zone offsets are included or omitted. It offers
  guidelines for working with field-based dates and times, for working
  with date and time values that require a time zone, and for comparing
  times. Visit the Internationalization home page.
