r12a has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams as "i18n": == Linking to RFC 3339 for duration is dubious == Please Indicate One: * [x] Editorial * [ ] Question * [x] Feedback * [ ] Blocking Issue * [ ] Non-Blocking Issue [This issue has support from others in the i18n WG.] https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-duration > The value MUST be expressed as an [RFC3339] (ISO 8601) duration (e.g. a period of 5 seconds is represented as "PT5S"). The reference is a little problematic here, since RFC 3339 describes a profile of ISO 8601 for timestamps, and explicitly states that > Date and time expressions indicate an instant in time. Description of time periods, or intervals, is not covered here. (The description presumably intended at is in the apparently non-normative ABNF for ISO 8601 proposed in Appendix A of RFC 3339.) Perhaps the definition of xsd:duration would be a better reference? HTML also includes a [duration](https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-html51-20160602/infrastructure.html#durations) construct. That one references ISO 8601 in passing. But `xsd:duration` is probably the more thorough reference. See https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/339
