Most of these match the value space of existing XML Schema datatypes (if not their lexical space), but there are two in particular that don't (at least these were the two that jumped out at me): * timezone ('Z' or [+-]hh:mm) * week (YYYY-Www) It would ease extraction of data from HTML <time> elements if XML and RDF were able to support these datatypes. Could they be added (perhaps as xs:timezone and xs:gYearWeek)?

ACTION: MSM to get in touch with Jeni Tennison regarding production of a custom datatype given the parameters listed here in the minutes. Resoved: mark bug as WORKSFORME after talking with Jeni. 76825 2 cmsmcq 2012-10-21 00:11:56 +0000 The mail mentioned in comment 1 has now been sent [1], and as described there I'm marking this issue resolved. (I'm unilaterally changing the resolution from WORKSFORME to LATER, though, for reasons described in the mail.) [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2012OctDec/0012.html
