Description
The datetime element in eml-attribute should be spelled dateTime to be
consistent with the other dateTime elements and types. we may not be able to
fix this in eml2 because it will break backwards compatibility.
This is a relatively minor issue, and I think that it is not worth breaking
backwards compatibility to fix it. I'm retargeting this at the 2.1 milestone,
which is when we might break some backwards compatibility and so should consider
fixing it then. I'm not sure it is worth fixing it at all, because it will only
mean that people have to map the "datetime" element to "dateTime".
Changing QA contact to the list for all current EML bugs so that people can
track what is happening.
targeting for 2.1.0, although may drop back to unspecified.
declaration of datetime element in attribute.xsd is now dateTime:
<xs:element name="dateTime">
to be consistent with the other uses of this term in EML (dateTimeDomain, dateTimeFormat)
