 Hello ( mostly schema and protocol people),
While working on psPS framework API I found that according to the current 
schema
definition its very inconvenient to send select:parameter with some time 
range select values.
For some reasons there is a time schema but there is no support for time 
elements in
the select parameter.   So, people basically using something like 
<parameter name="startTime">... instead of normal time element. Its very 
strange to have  several ways to treat such thing as time. As the simplest 
approach and may be the easiest step I would suggest to allow current time   
element as subelement of parameter. Of course I can support it for my service 
( pinger MA)
at any time but this feature will benefit every other service as well.
 Thanks,
         Maxim Grigoriev.
