ABCD

via David Fichtmüller from ABCD Wiki ( http://abcd.biowikifarm.net/wiki/Internal:ABCD_Corrections#Change_DateTimeISO_to_include_the_time_zone )

(Improvement    backward compatible    Status: Suggested)

Though there is already an element TimeZone within the DateTime type, this would also make the dates more compatible to the DateTime suggested by the W3C (http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime ) as a subset of ISO 8601. If both the timezone and the milliseconds are added, it would be fully compatible. The timezone could also be useful for other element that would use the DateTimeISO type if the suggestion to only use the DateTimeISO type ( http://abcd.biowikifarm.net/wiki/Internal:ABCD_Corrections#Use_only_the_DateTimeISO_type ) gets accepted.
