• value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--HH-MM-XX--EE-NN-UU--Y - separate YYYY-MM-DD, HH:MM with +XX timezone, end time EE:NN:UU with separate single-digit-hour +Y timezone (imply date from dtstart).
• value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--HH-MM-SS-XXYY--EE-NN--Z - separate YYYY-MM-DD, HH:MM:SS with +XXYY timezone, end time EE:NN with separate Z timezone (imply date from dtstart).

error tests

Tests are necessary to make sure implementations aren't "over" implementing some aspects, and properly handling errors in markup, e.g. using the "title" attribute when they shouldn't be.

• value-dt-test-e-title-YYYY-MM-DD--HH-MM - separate YYYY-MM-DD in span (with errant value in title) and HH:MM in span (with errant value in title).

results

This table documents implementations that support at least some value class pattern features. As implementations pass at least one of the tests above, they should be added to this table.

Notes

* Tantek Çelik has found that these tests pass in Firefox 3.5.8 with Operator 0.9.5.1 by using the "Debug" option in Operator and looking at both the "Structure" and "vCard/iCalendar" tabs and verifying that both agree with expected output for the test.

** Jeremy Keith has found that these tests only partially pass in Firefox 3.6 with Operator 0.9.5.1 (and one test fails). For the partials, the date was correctly parsed, but not the time. In the one fail, the timezone field is misread as the end date.

old tests

The handling of date and time values in the value class pattern was originally brainstormed on the value-excerption-pattern-brainstorming page and the following page of tests was used to make sure pattern both worked for publishers and was reasonably parsable:

• value-excerption-dt-separation-test
