Great, thanks for testing and letting us know!

You would simply use the numerical notation:

xml_schema::date_time dt (2008, 1, 16, 18, 6, 33);

The new date/time types are documented in the C++/Tree Mapping User
Manual in Sections 2.5.7-2.5.16. The manual can be found in the
documentation/cxx/tree/manual/ directory in the beta distribution.
