XML Schema 1.0 only supports a subset of the ISO-8601 date/time formats as you observe, and there are apparently no plans to change that (looking at the latest 1.1 Working Drafts and at the 1.1 Requirements document [1]). The usual alternative is to derive a new type from xs:string and use a pattern facet to restrict the format. The downside is that the type is a string instead of a date, so it can't support date-aware min/max restrictions, for instance. The requirements document is only a Working Draft, so technically it is not too late to file comments on it (to this mailing list), but my sense is that the requirements are effectively closed. xan [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xmlschema-11-req-20030121/#N4002A9
