In section 3.2.7.3 on the order relation of dateTime, at B.1, it says:

1.. If P[i] and Q[i] are both not specified, continue to the next i 2.. If P[i] 
is not specified and Q[i] is, or vice versa, stop and return P <> Q 
This doesn't make any sense to me. When could P[i] or Q[i] be "not specified"? 
In dateTime all fields are specified.

When things like gYearMonth appeal to the dateTime order, they do so by saying 
eg "the order relation on gYearMonth values is the order relation on their 
starting instants", so in this case also all fields are totally specified.

I think the above two sentences should be deleted.
