#4 timestamp type is not documented

[Anonymous]

The timestamp type is not documented. Experimenting a little, it seems that the ruby implementation accepts

- 2000-01-01T10:00:00Z
- 2000-01-01T10:00:00+00:00

but not

- 2000-01-01 10:00:00
- 2000-01-01T10:00:00
- 2000-01-01 10:00:00Z
- '2000-01-01 10:00:00'
- "2000-01-01 10:00:00"
- 2000-01-01 10:00:00+00:00

It is not clear if other formats are also accepted. It also seems that time is a synonym for timestamp, but this is also not documented.

Furthermore, out-of-range values may crash the validator:

- 2000-01-01T26:00:00Z

yields:

I haven't found anything that validate as timestamp. The above positive examples don't in Kwalify 0.7.1.

None of the canonical timestamps in the YAML spec do either,
