Toby Considine commented on WSCALENDAR-342:
-------------------------------------------

ISO8601 specifies that durations begin with P
It specifies Years (Y), Months (M), Weeks (W), and Days (D).
If after a T (time) then it specifies time - Hours (H), Minutes (M), Weeks (W), and Days (D)

The examples above should be PT6S and P2H. The P1W is correct.

Just as D handles Leap Days, while must specify 23 and 25 instead of 24, so the duration M varies by the month, in ways that 4W or 30D do not.
