Description:

Issue from comment in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-multimodal/2011Jun/0007.html :

With the help of a unix timestamp or a timestamp defined as
xsd:nonNegativeInteger no moments before 1970 can be defined. This
includes that no moments bevor christ can be used. So e.g. “emotional
diaries” of a poets like Friedrich Schiller or Gaius Iulius Caesar can
not be annotated in their real time.

Possible solution
-----------------
I inspire to use xsd:dateTime
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime) instead of
xsd:nonNegativeInteger for the attributes start and end of <emotion>.
With the help of this we can annotate also dates before 1970 and bevore
christ also with fractional seconds.
