Michael Thanks for your message on this. Unfortunately I don't think they are quite there yet, particularly in all the cases where you have added the following: 'Canonical representation The canonical representation for recurringDate is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.3.28.1). Specifically, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited and the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and be indicated by a "Z". ' In no case is there a Z in the accompanying example, though the sentence specifies that the letter "must ... be indicated by a Z". Either the text is still misleading or the examples are incorrect. (Personally I suspect the text as the Z just does not apply naturally to something like recurringDay, recurringDate, year or century.) NB: Sometimes one needs care when simply copying text from a master definition to a derived one. (Pity not all basic types have list of derived types associated with them to aid cross checking.)
