I haven't been able to find anything to support that mark-up (I tried
looking for about 30 minutes). Here are the pages that I found (none of
which use the mark-up you specified above):
http://www.ostyn.com/standards/scorm/samples/ISOTimeForSCORM.htm
http://www.stylusstudio.com/w3c/schema2/built-in-primitive-datatypes.htm#duration
I also couldn't find it in the ISO-8601 specification (page 31 and 32):
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/4021199/ISO_8601_2004_E.zip?func=doc.Fetch&nodeid=4021199
There are no extended formats for time interval that I can see. Unless
anybody else can find any evidence to the contrary, we should probably
use the following format in the examples:
title="PT4M46S"
