Consider adding a primitive type that corresponds with JSR 310 (JDK 1.8 time API) ZonedDateTime
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-287
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-287
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.0_WD01
            Reporter: Evan Ireland


Please refer to ZonedDateTime in the JSR 310 (JDK 1.8 time API) documentation:

  http://threeten.sourceforge.net/apidocs/javax/time/calendar/ZonedDateTime.html

OData does not permit such a value (essentially a DateTimeOffset together with a named time zone region) to be represented except by using string or complex types.

We might reasonably expect that OData interoperability with the new Java time system will be impacted by the omission of a corresponding CSDL primitive type.
