- XML schema seems to use a different canonical format, we
need to take a closer look how to define the canonical format
given that a date really identifies a 24 hour interval and
what XSD means with 'interval midpoint'.
- Shall we make the timezone offset optional? The timezone offset is
optional in XML schema. There is CBOR work in progress to define a
date without a timezone. The downside of optional timezones is
that two systems in different timezones may assign different dates
to the same event. On the other hand, there may be use cases where
the timezone is implicit.
- Proposal: Make the timezone optional (adding text describing the
implications, i.e., comparisons may be surprising). Align as much
as possible with the XML schema definition concerning the
canonical format.
