Hi, In the current xml schema[1] the datetime types are customised to enforced specific pattern (similar to UTC). Doing this would make schema less intuitive for the xml binding libraries, first in terms of validation and secondly a desired formatted string has to be crafted. Interestingly the default xsd "datetime" type already allows both UTC and ISO8601. It is then up to the service developers to which date interchangeable format do they want to use. If you agree and foresee less changes on your side, I can update the given schema to use xsd:dateTime instead of glue:DateTime_t. If necessary or unclear, we can discuss this in our meeting tomorrow.
