Provide totally ordered duration types, specifically one that is

Proposal:
yearMonthDuration and dayTimeDuration as defined in
XQuery and XPath Function and Operators (http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/)

This requirement has been satisfied by the inclusion of the types
in question in the Datatypes spec.

In January 2006, the XML Query and XSL Working Groups agreed to use
names in the XML Schema namespace for these types; our definitions and
theirs must agree in all details.
