3.2.8 time [Definition:]  time represents an instant of time that recurs every day. The ·value space· of time is the space of time of day values as defined in § 5.3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of zero-duration daily time instances. Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, time values are partially ordered because it may not be able to determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. The order relation on time values is the Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.4) using an arbitrary date. See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of time values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered. Note: See the conformance note in (§3.2.6) which applies to the seconds part of this datatype as well. 3.2.8.1 Lexical representation The lexical representation for time is the left truncated lexical representation for dateTime: hh:mm:ss.sss with optional following time zone indicator. For example, to indicate 1:20 pm for Eastern Standard Time which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), one would write: 13:20:00-05:00. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D). 3.2.8.2 Canonical representation The canonical representation for time is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.8.1). Specifically, either the time zone must be omitted or, if present, the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) indicated by a "Z". Additionally, the canonical representation for midnight is 00:00:00. 3.2.8.3 Constraining facets time has the following ·constraining facets·: pattern enumeration whiteSpace maxInclusive maxExclusive minInclusive minExclusive
