[Odrl-version2] Dates and times in constraints

[Francis Cave]

Hi Renato

 

XML Schema dateTime supports timezones, but doesn't mandate their use. The
W3C Note recommends that their use be mandatory.

 

Regards,

 

Francis

The reason why Stuart proposed restricting date-time formats to comply with
the W3C Note doesn't arise from any ACAP-specific concerns. I believe his
concern - Stuart will confirm - is that in a global market for content it is
frequently vital to know the time-zone in which a date-time restriction
applies, and this can only be expressed by including the time-zone offset
value.

 

I agree - but does not XML Schema dateTime support timezones?

 

See section "3.2.7.3 Timezones" of the XML Datatypes spec [1]
