This looks like the best option to me, prevents confusion and isn't that much
more verbose.
In RDF/XML it could even be abbreviated a bit, provided there's a range
definition for dtstart:
<Vevent>
<dtstart rdf:parseType="Resource">
<rdf:value
rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime">2003-01-15T18:00:00</rdf:value>
<tzid>/softwarestudio.org/Olson_20011030_5/Europe/London</tzid>
</dtstart>
</Vevent>
Another thought: I'm not sure this is "kosher" use of datatypes, but how
about using a timezone URI for the datatype:
<Vevent>
<dtstart
rdf:datatype="http://tz.example.org/softwarestudio.org/Olson_20011030_5/Europe/London"
>2003-01-15T18:00:00</dtstart>
</Vevent>
This of course leaves the XSD datetime datatype out in the cold, but perhaps
that could be fixed with some inheritance (somens:subDatatypeOf)?
BTW, what's with the different casing of parseType and datatype?

Morten
