It's not kosher W3C XML Schema, but I'm trying to provide an approach
which will let you fragment whatever lexical form of date you have into
a set of smaller pieces (day, month, second, etc.).  It works okay for
element content, but I'm still working on attribute content.  See:
http://simonstl.com/projects/fragment/

I'm hoping to have the remaining attribute issues sorted out sometime in
the next month, so keep watching!
