TEI datatypes permit times on the value= attribute of the various date &amp; time elements to be expressed to any precision (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, or decimal fraction of a second). However, because the W3C XML Schema datatypes for times do not permit precision to the hour or minute, there exists software that does not handle these values. E.g., such software will reject "13:30" but accept "13:30:00". This stylesheet (as well as [[InsertFalsePrecision1.xsl|a less powerful version that works with XSLT 1 processors]]) converts times that are precise to only the minute or hour to times that are precise to the second.

      This style-sheet reads in an XML file (presumably a TEI P5 one, but
      any other that has similar when= attributes of <date> and <time>
      elements would work) and writes out the same file with any right-
      truncated times padded with zeroes.
      
      I don't claim for a moment that the method I've used here is the
      best in any sense of the word "best", only that it is the one this
      novice XSLTer thought of. 
      
      Known limitations:
      * The "00" should probably be a parameter, so users could use some
      other value (e.g., "30") if they wanted.
      * Obviously, the file cannot be converted back, as there would be no
      way for a stylesheet to know whether any particular ":00" was
      added by this stylesheet or actually represents a time precise to
      the minute or second.
