Using xs:datetime, xs:date and xs:time with Sql Server 2005 XML: While i'm was experimenting with Infopath and SQL Server 2005 ability to handle XML, i've found a not-expected behaviour (at least to me), that is better to explain a little bit so that no-one reading my blog will have the same problems.
