I could use some clarification on XALAN and XERCES internals regarding the parsing and data storage in document nodes regarding XML dateTime type.
XALAN I have not yet analyzed whether parsed dateTime values are saved as double values in XObjects. XObjects are used as the foundation for XalanNode class. The XObject data type used in XalanNode and other tree-based parsed content has two internal data storage values. One is a string consisting of 16-bit UTF-16 code point characters. The other is a double type to represent anything of decimal value. XERCES I have not looked at how DOM documents store parsed dateTime. Sincerely, Steven J.
