[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-107) Should OData support a "clock time" (xs:time) datatype?

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-107:
-------------------------------------

Rather than further complicate the ecosystem by redefining Edm.Time, I propose the following:
1) We define a new Edm.Duration type which is formatted as xs:dayTimeDuration (Ralf already applied this by adding Edm.DayTimeDuration; we would just rename this to the (simpler) "Edm.Duration").
2) We remove Edm.Time from the OASIS specification and reserve its use for backward compatibility (existing implementations can use it as a synonym for the new Edm.Duration).
3) We add a new Edm.TimeOfDay which is xs:time without explicit time zone offset and without the 24:00:00 value.

> Edm.Time was intended to be xs:duration ("P1Y1M1DT1H1M1S"). On Sept 6, 2012 we approved ODATA-70 to consistently treat Edm.Time as xs:duration, but this led to discussion as to whether we should have a datatype for "clock time" separate from xs:duration, and whether that time should have an optional or required timezone.
> At that same meeting we agreed to repurpose this issue, which was originally somewhat a duplicate of ODATA-70, to track the possibly support for xs:Time.
