The 05 draft of the Atom format says:
I know we're writing an IETF document, but I think there's going to be a lot of off-the-shelf XML software that understands xsd:dateTimes and I think it would be a lot better if we defined Date Constructs in terms of W3C XML Schema Part 2 than RFC 3339.
I propose that we change the spec to do so.
I agree. I was just writing a protocol implementation in Ruby On Rails (CRUDs very fast, btw). When I got to the part on date formats, I used xsd:dateTime code that was already done, figuring that's what everyone else will do.
But in that case, we'll need to profile xsd:dateTime. For instance, that one allows timestamps without timezone (with a distinct meaning!).
