As it happens, John Cowan and I were reminiscing about this as our cocktail party conversation at XML2002. 1. Standard practice that EARL should adhere to: - Base semantics on the ISO standard. - Define 'date' as a subset of dateTime, which you define first. 2. Precedents you should check before deciding on subsets and encoding: XML Schema (types) IETF Calendaring and Scheduling - RFC3339 3. Personal recommendation: In your 'date' subset do not allow, or at least discourage, the omission of a localOffset indication. Actually, for logging purposes of observations related to the Internet, a full dateTime should be preferred anyway. 4. Warning: omitting localOffset is legitimate in planDateTime if a location is given in geographic terms. This is the "when it's noon in Boston" usage as opposed to "17:00 UTC" or "12:00 -05" usage. But I don't think that this needs to be anything more than a remark in defining how to express past events in EARL.
