So... the xsd definition for the problem elements looks like:
<attribute name="NotBefore" type="dateTime" use="optional"/>
<attribute name="NotOnOrAfter" type="dateTime" use="optional"/>
so the idea is that when I get the document I need to check to make sure
that now is after NotBefore and before NotOnOrAfter.
The problem I seem to be having is that for some reason the Calendar
objects I'm getting are not correct. So the now.after(notbefore) &&
now.before(notonorafter) is false... This only happened when the time
changed...
Here's the output of the calendar objects themselves:

And when I compare them as above things are not happy.
Ugh.

Subject: Re: Daylight Savings Time problem and JAXB: HELP!
I tried the following schema:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="foo" type="xs:dateTime" />
</xs:schema>
... with the following document:
<foo>2003-04-23T09:47:23.211-08:00</foo>
and unmarshalled a document, then marshalled it back to XML, and I got:
<foo>2003-04-23T09:47:23.211-08:00</foo>
I also printed out the Calendar object in the content tree, and I got:
java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=?,areFieldsSet=false,
areAllFieldsSet=false,lenient=true,zone=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[i
d=custom,offset=-28800000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,
startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,
startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,
endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0],firstDayOfWeek=1,
minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1,ERA=?,YEAR=2003,MONTH=3,WEEK_OF_YEAR=?,
WEEK_OF_MONTH=?,DAY_OF_MONTH=23,DAY_OF_YEAR=?,DAY_OF_WEEK=?,
DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=?,AM_PM=?,HOUR=?,HOUR_OF_DAY=9,MINUTE=47,
SECOND=23,MILLISECOND=211,ZONE_OFFSET=?,DST_OFFSET=?]
If you look at it, it shows it's not seting the daylight saving time
with the time zone, which is correct. (Since you can't tell if you
should apply time zone just from "-08:00")
Now, if I call the Calendar.getTime() method, it will turn it into a
Date object, but the Date object don't keep the time zone in it. So it
just uses the default system time zone, which is why you see PDT.
I don't fully understand the problem you described, but hopefully this
will give you enough clue to get things right.
