Subject: Review of CAP Issue #9
ISSUE: 9 - Clarify datetime format in data dictionary entries DESCRIPTION: The commenter suggests that the current description of date/time elements in the Data Dictionary could be ambiguous, since the ISO-8601 standard permits a number of different usages. PROPOSED CHANGE: The commenter suggests that the specification reference the W3C profile for date/time formats at <http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime>. DISCUSSION: The commenter's point is well taken. However, the intent was to invoke the definition of the dateTime primitive element. Therefore, a direct reference to the definition of the dateTime element seems more appropriate. This should have no impact on existing implementations. RECOMMENDATION: Revise all references to ISO-8601 to refer instead to the dateTime element as defined in section 3.2.7 of the W3C Recommendation "XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition" (<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime>)
