I use the type of time element to know the format of value attribute.

examples for unix type:

    <nmwg:parameter name="endTime">
        <nmtm:time type="unix" value="1197285497"/>
    </nmwg:parameter>

or

   <nmwg:parameter name="startTime">1186735200</nmwg:parameter>


That second example is default one (unix type is default so you don't 
have to use time element ... but of course you can)
