DR 10-0001 - removal of leap year bug from strict (was RE: Detailed agenda for the 2010-04-22 teleconf)

Okay, this turned out to be a lot more involved than I expected. Changes are in the attached word document and PDF. A couple of points:

* I left references to the "1904 backwards-compatibility date base" the same (i.e. I did not remove "backwards-compatibility"). The work done at the BRM appeared to be steering consumers away from both the leap-year bug and the 1904 date base, so I didn't want to undo that.
* I am not 100% sure I've changed the schemas in the right way. I'd appreciate a second pair of eyes.
* Unlike any other transitional features, this requires not just a change in schema and normative schema element descriptions - it also involves a large change some pieces of prose (sections that talk in general terms about dates). I wondered about referring to ECMA-376 here but Murata-san preferred the idea of just pasting the prose into Part 4, so I've done that. This prose will change when we integrate the ISO 8601 profiling - we will have to remember to update these in the right order (it should be apparent at the time as the section will have moved to another Part).

Your thoughts much appreciated,

Chris

I dropped the ball on this - will do it in the next few days so we'll be fine to put it on the agenda for the next meeting.

Hello Murata-san,

I see that "DR 10-0001,  SML: Removal of dateCompatibility attribute" is on the agenda for tomorrow. As the minutes from last TC tell we decided to remove the attribute for strict documents. But we have not yet received a write-up from Chris, so I think it would be premature to deal with this again at the TC tomorrow (which I am not able to attend, btw).

I propose we postpone this DR until we have some concrete wording to look at.
