[Odrl-version2] Dates and times in constraints

[Francis Cave]

If one were to extend the idea of a "policy" to cover such applications as
religious observance, one could imagine some quite complex restrictions
involving floating local times, such as to prohibit an action between one
sunset and the next.

I am not opposed to having the ODRL core model allow for floating times, if
there's a use case. And, as we've already said, we can always rely on
profiles of ODRL to tighten the requirements for making timezone offsets
required, as needed.

 

We can say that we "strongly recommend the use of timezones when times are
specified in dateTime"....

 

BTW, the only use case I can think of is if I sell you the world-wide rights
to play "Auld Lang Syne" after 2011-12-31T23:59:59 :-)
