Link: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#adding-durations-to-dateTimes Clarification Comment: The XSD builtin datatypes, gMonthDay and time, are missing from the sentence below "This appendix also addresses the additions of durations to the datatypes ......". Since Section 3.2.12 gMonthDay and Section 3.2.8 time contain a reference to Appendix E, one would conclude they should also be listed in this sentence to confirm that the add duration algorithm also applies to these two types. Context for clarification: E Adding durations to dateTimes Given a dateTime <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime> S and a duration <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#duration> D, this appendix specifies how to compute a dateTime <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime> E where E is the end of the time period with start S and duration D i.e. E = S + D. Such computations are used, for example, to determine whether a dateTime <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime> is within a specific time period. This appendix also addresses the addition of duration <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#duration>s to the datatypes date <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#date>, gYearMonth <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#gYearMonth>, gYear <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#gYear>, gDay <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#gDay> and gMonth <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#gMonth>, which can be viewed as a set of dateTime <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime>s. In such cases, the addition is made to the first or starting dateTime <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime> in the set. -Joe Fialli, Sun Microsystems
