  It seems to me that WG gave up producing acceptable types (not only
hierarchy but types themselves) for dates and times.

  The followings are my post to www-xml-schema-comments@w... about
date/time related types.

I think those two are fairly important:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0366.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0365.html

But nobody gave an answer.


The following three are very simple mistakes. A WG member promised me a
correction. But the truth is the same errors still remain in PR spec.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0270.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0271.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0272.html

Those two are also related to date/time types. And again, no answer has
given.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0368.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0367.html


  Actually, I've posted more than 20 comments to www-xml-schema-comments@w...
but more than half are unanswered at all. It sure is a good way to
discourage people from sending comments.

  I'm not familiar with W3C process, but is WG allowed to ignore public
reviews? I understand that the WG is very busy and obviously it is
impossible to answer *all* of the comments, but how can they ignore
comments like first two ?


  The spec says

> Technical and editorial comments should be sent to the publicly
> archived www-xml-schema-comments@w... mailing list.

  But there is no description about how comments are treated.
