Hi Eckhart.
With a rough scan only - so no details about the content of your wiki page:
Yes, I think it's useful to have this kind of documentation, but IMHO
it's not a good replacement, but an addition to the example based one.
To understand a technical documentation like that you have to understand
everything. To use simple examples it's sufficient to find one that
nearly fits and adapt it to the individual needs, most of the time this
satisfies opening hours, collecting times and much more tags.
I agree, that a more formal description and documentation is useful, and
that this documentation should be the base to check the more human
readable documentation (e.g. the example based one) against, but to
replace it excludes less technical people from this tag even more than
currently, where it's already a slightly complicated one (that's no
offense, but a fact IMHO).
regards
Peter

Hi everybody,
as you probably know, all condition-related proposals and specifically the
accepted Conditional Restrictions depend on the opening_hours syntax for time
domains.
However, the whole page is a huge mess. It tries to define the syntax using
examples (which is doomed to fail). In consequence, none of the existing
implementations even get the full set of examples right, and the list of
deviations is quite long.
Therefore, I've started another approach at time domains, with the following
objectives:
- has to be implementable
- reuses opening_hours syntax as much as reasonable
- is properly defined
- is reasonably complete
- is reasonably extensible
The result can be seen in

As this is an RFC, comments are of course welcome.
