Provides an implementation of the Atom Date Construct, which is itself a specialization of the RFC3339 date-time.
Per RFC4287:
3.3. Date Constructs A Date construct is an element whose content MUST conform to the "date-time" production in [RFC3339]. In addition, an uppercase "T" character MUST be used to separate date and time, and an uppercase "Z" character MUST be present in the absence of a numeric time zone offset. atomDateConstruct = atomCommonAttributes, xsd:dateTime Such date values happen to be compatible with the following specifications: [ISO.8601.1988], [W3C.NOTE-datetime-19980827], and [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028]. Example Date constructs: <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated> <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02.25Z</updated> <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02+01:00</updated> <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02.25+01:00</updated> Date values SHOULD be as accurate as possible. For example, it would be generally inappropriate for a publishing system to apply the same timestamp to several entries that were published during the course of a single day.
