fn:dateTime
Construct a dateTime from a date and time
Description
The fn:dateTime function constructs an xs:dateTime value from an xs:date value and an xs:time value. It should not be confused with the xs:dateTime constructor, which accepts a single argument that includes the date and time.
Time zone is taken into account when constructing the date/time. If neither the date nor the time has a time zone, the result has no time zone. If only one of the arguments has a time zone, or they both have the same time zone, the result has that time zone.
