The entire section on the dateTime datatype has been rewritten within the WG, but I don't know that a public for-comment version has gone out yet. I suggest you wait for that release, read it, and then see if you can cast your comment in that context. The structure of the date/time datatypes are changed compared to Schema 1.0; although the words have changed in the ensuing months, the writeup about the base "technology" behind the new versions of date/time datatypes has a pretty good explanation of what's going on, and may be found in appendix section D.2 of the public draft of 16 July 2005: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xmlschema11-2-20040716/datatypes.html#d-t-values -- Dave Peterson SGMLWorks! davep@iit.edu
