Attributes

when-iso

supplies the value of a date or time in a standard form.

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.temporal.iso
The following are examples of ISO date, time, and date & time formats that are not valid W3C format normalizations. <date when-iso="1996-09-24T07:25+00">Sept. 24th, 1996 at 3:25 in the morning</date> <date when-iso="1996-09-24T03:25-04">Sept. 24th, 1996 at 3:25 in the morning</date> <time when-iso="1999-01-04T20:42-05">4 Jan 1999 at 8:42 pm</time> <time when-iso="1999-W01-1T20,70-05">4 Jan 1999 at 8:42 pm</time> <date when-iso="2006-05-18T10:03">a few minutes after ten in the morning on Thu 18 May</date> <time when-iso="03:00">3 A.M.</time> <time when-iso="14">around two</time> <time when-iso="15,5">half past three</time> All of the examples of the when attribute in the att.datable.w3c class are also valid with respect to this attribute.
`He likes to be punctual. I said <q> <time when-iso="12">around noon</time> </q>, and he showed up at <time when-iso="12:00:00">12 O'clock</time> on the dot.` The second occurrence of <time> could have been encoded with the when attribute, as 12:00:00 is a valid time with respect to the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition specification. The first occurrence could not.

notBefore-iso

specifies the earliest possible date for the event in standard form, e.g. yyyy-mm-dd.

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.temporal.iso

notAfter-iso

specifies the latest possible date for the event in standard form, e.g. yyyy-mm-dd.

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.temporal.iso

from-iso

indicates the starting point of the period in standard form.

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.temporal.iso

to-iso

indicates the ending point of the period in standard form.

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.temporal.iso

Note

The value of these attributes should be a normalized representation of the date, time, or combined date & time intended, in any of the standard formats specified by ISO 8601:2004, using the Gregorian calendar.

If both when-iso and dur-iso are specified, the values should be interpreted as indicating a span of time by its starting time (or date) and duration. That is,

<date when-iso="2007-06-01" dur-iso="P8D"/>

indicates the same time period as

<date when-iso="2007-06-01/P8D"/>

In providing a ‘regularized’ form, no claim is made that the form in the source text is incorrect; the regularized form is simply that chosen as the main form for purposes of unifying variant forms under a single heading.
