I have one comment to the proposed specification. When a wall time is specified with a zone, the time might be invalid, or ambiguous during daylight saving transition (or zone offset change). For example, 1) <time dateTime="2014-03-09T02:30:00" tz="America/New_York"/> The wall time 2:30 does not exist, because wall time jump to 3:00am (UTC-4) one second after 1:59am (UTC-5) 2) <time dateTime="2014-11-02T01:00:00" tz="America/New_York"/> The wall time 1:00 happens twice - 1:00am (UTC-4) and 1:00am (UTC-5), so the actual time is ambiguous. I think the spec should clarify how user agent should handle these cases (invalid / ambiguous), or just say "the behavior is undefined". - Yoshito Umaoka
