Re: About timeDuration format

No, the alternate formats you suggest are not supported.
These formats are similar to proposed SQL formats that define
a period of time with a start instant and an end instant, a start
and a duration, etc.  If you have a need to represent such data
you should create a complex type that contains children with
the two values.

All the best, Ashok

Subject:  About timeDuration format



Hi,

According to XML Schema Part 2 3.2.6, timeDuration's format is
PnYnMnDTnHnMnS.
This is the basic format of time duration. Does timeDuration allow other
alternative formats,
such as
    CCYYMMDDThhmmss/CCYYMMDDThhmmss
    CCYYMMDDThhmmss/PnYnMnDTnHnMnS
    PnYnMnDTnHnMnS/CCYYMMDDThhmmss
    CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss/CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
    CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss/PnYnMnDTnHnMnS
    PnYnMnDTnHnMnS/CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

Thanks in advance!
Jing
