  Note that it is a W3C NOTE, i.e. something without any authoritative
status, and issued without peer review or the usual W3C process. A NOTE from
9 years ago is unlikely to be a good place for advices, either it has been 
picked up in a more recent spec or you should be very cautious about it.

  the date and time support in libxml2 is really based on the need for the
support of XML Schemas part 2 Datatypes, if it doesn't intersect with
what you are looking for, then I don't think libxml2 should really be the
place to hold this kind of functions, it's really about XML (or it should).
