We have now added further Metadata tests, looking at date fields.

If the W3CDTF scheme is specified, then Sitemorse will now check to see that the content provided really does conform to the W3CDTF format.

Details of the standard are available at http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime

Abstract (W3.org)
This document defines a profile of ISO 8601, the International Standard for the representation of dates and times. ISO 8601 describes a large number of date/time formats. To reduce the scope for error and the complexity of software, it is useful to restrict the supported formats to a small number. This profile defines a few date/time formats, likely to satisfy most requirements.
