-----------------------------------

          Summary: Conformed string value sets not clearly indicated in diagrams   (was: Conformed strings not clearly described in diagrams )
    Fix Version/s: PIM WD14
      Environment: 
William Cox based on Steve Ray comment
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ws-calendar-comment/201501/msg00004.html

  was:
Steve Ray comment 20150227
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ws-calendar-comment/201501/msg00004.html

      Description: 
From the Steve Ray comment (within item 1):
"And in this example, I don’t want to give an exact duration, since months are of different lengths. I’m not sure what you allow in DurationType since you have it listed as String. "

Generalize to "Conformed string value sets not clearly indicated in diagrams "

  was:In processing items related to this comment by Steve Ray it appears that the use of conformed strings (e.g. Duration of seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months, and so forth, recurrence, and the like) need to be clear in a comment on the graphics.


Conformed strings in the PIM uniformly use ISO8601 grammars. These are almost but not quite the RFC 5545  grammars. A duration of 1M (1 month) will properly give the same date in the next month (see RFC5545 3.3.6 which does not use the ISO8601 Month and Year ("M" and "Y" designators and ISO8601 2.2.12 and its notes, 3.4.3 Designators for Duration and 4.4.3.2).

The PIM uses 8601 so use of those designators addresses the use case in the comment, but does not trivially map to RFC5545 DURATION value type as stated in PIM CS01 Section 2.2, line 214, and for transformations starting on line 720.

The PIM uses 8601 to clarify and localize transforms because XSD and RFC5545 take different subsets of the 8601 durations.
