  34  * Class DateTimeSyntax is an abstract base class providing the common
  35  * implementation of all attributes whose value is a date and time.
  36  * <P>
  37  * Under the hood, a date-time attribute is stored as a value of class
  38  * {@code java.util.Date}. You can get a date-time attribute's Date value by
  39  * calling {@link #getValue() getValue()}. A date-time attribute's
  40  * Date value is established when it is constructed (see {@link
  41  * #DateTimeSyntax(Date) DateTimeSyntax(Date)}). Once
  42  * constructed, a date-time attribute's value is immutable.
  43  * <P>
  44  * To construct a date-time attribute from separate values of the year, month,
  45  * day, hour, minute, and so on, use a {@code java.util.Calendar}
  46  * object to construct a {@code java.util.Date} object, then use the
  47  * {@code java.util.Date} object to construct the date-time attribute.
  48  * To convert
  49  * a date-time attribute to separate values of the year, month, day, hour,
  50  * minute, and so on, create a {@code java.util.Calendar} object and
  51  * set it to the {@code java.util.Date} from the date-time attribute. Class
  52  * DateTimeSyntax stores its value in the form of a {@code java.util.Date}
  53  * rather than a {@code java.util.Calendar} because it typically takes
  54  * less memory to store and less time to compare a {@code java.util.Date}
  55  * than a {@code java.util.Calendar}.
