Issue 16679: Date-Time Issue - Examples Related to Timezones (date-time-ftf) Source: Object Management Group (Mr. Andrew Watson, andrew(at)omg.org) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: (This comment came from the Architecture Board's review of the final submission.) The later sections of the specification (13.5.4 & 16.5) contain very detailed discussion of Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time. However, some of the earlier sections contain informal comments that don't always take this into account. For instance, on page 45 (clause 7.1.2) it says "Example: The time interval identified by 2010 is before the time interval identified by 2011." This glosses over the fact that 2010 and 2011 overlap by 24 hours, because 1 Jan 2011 was almost over in New Zealand before 1 Jan 2011 started in Hawaii. It might be worth quickly scanning all the examples, and perhaps amending language in some to take account of Time Zones.

Updates are made as necessary to avoid this confusion. Revised Text: (All references are to the beta-2 document.) In clause 8.1.2 replace the Example under 'time interval1 is before time interval2', which reads: Example: The time interval identified by 2010 is before the time interval identified by 2011. . with: Example: In any given calendar, the time interval identified by 2010 is before the time interval identified by 2011. In clause 8.1.3 replace the Example under 'time interval1 is properly before time interval2', which reads: Example: 2009 is properly before 2011 . with: Example: In any given calendar, 2009 is properly before 2011 In clause 8.1.4 replace the second Example under 'time interval1 precedes time interval2', which reads: Example: 2009 precedes 2010 . with: Example: In any given calendar, 2009 precedes 2010 Disposition: Resolved
