/**
 * <p>
 * This class contains functionality used by the TS class
 * in the version 2.3.0, 2.3.1, and 2.4 packages
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Note: The class description below has been excerpted from the Hl7 2.4 documentation. Sectional
 * references made below also refer to the same documentation.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Format: YYYY[MM[DD[HHMM[SS[.S[S[S[S]]]]]]]][+/-ZZZZ]^<degree of precision>
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Contains the exact time of an event, including the date and time. The date portion of a time stamp follows the rules of a
 * date field and the time portion follows the rules of a time field. The time zone (+/-ZZZZ) is represented as +/-HHMM
 * offset from UTC (formerly Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)), where +0000 or -0000 both represent UTC (without offset).
 * The specific data representations used in the HL7 encoding rules are compatible with ISO 8824-1987(E).
 * In prior versions of HL7, an optional second component indicates the degree of precision of the time stamp (Y = year, L
 * = month, D = day, H = hour, M = minute, S = second). This optional second component is retained only for purposes of
 * backward compatibility.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * By site-specific agreement, YYYYMMDD[HHMM[SS[.S[S[S[S]]]]]][+/-ZZZZ]^<degree of precision> may be used
 * where backward compatibility must be maintained.
 * In the current and future versions of HL7, the precision is indicated by limiting the number of digits used, unless the
 * optional second component is present. Thus, YYYY is used to specify a precision of "year," YYYYMM specifies a
 * precision of "month," YYYYMMDD specifies a precision of "day," YYYYMMDDHH is used to specify a precision of
 * "hour," YYYYMMDDHHMM is used to specify a precision of "minute," YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is used to specify a
 * precision of seconds, and YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.SSSS is used to specify a precision of ten thousandths of a second.
 * In each of these cases, the time zone is an optional component. Note that if the time zone is not included, the timezone
 * defaults to that of the local time zone of the sender. Also note that a TS valued field with the HHMM part set to "0000"
 * represents midnight of the night extending from the previous day to the day given by the YYYYMMDD part (see example
 * below). Maximum length of the time stamp is 26. 
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Examples: <br/>
 * |19760704010159-0500|<br/>
 * 1:01:59 on July 4, 1976 in the Eastern Standard Time zone (USA).<br/>
 * |19760704010159-0400|<br/>
 * 1:01:59 on July 4, 1976 in the Eastern Daylight Saving Time zone (USA).<br/>
 * |198807050000|<br/>
 * Midnight of the night extending from July 4 to July 5, 1988 in the local time zone of the sender.<br/>
 * |19880705|<br/>
 * Same as prior example, but precision extends only to the day. Could be used for a birthdate, if the time of birth is
 * unknown.<br/>
 * |19981004010159+0100|<br/>
 * 1:01:59 on October 4, 1998 in Amsterdam, NL. (Time zone=+0100).<br/>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The HL7 Standard strongly recommends that all systems routinely send the time zone offset but does not require it. All
 * HL7 systems are required to accept the time zone offset, but its implementation is application specific. For many
 * applications the time of interest is the local time of the sender. For example, an application in the Eastern Standard Time
 * zone receiving notification of an admission that takes place at 11:00 PM in San Francisco on December 11 would prefer
 * to treat the admission as having occurred on December 11 rather than advancing the date to December 12.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Note: The time zone [+/-ZZZZ], when used, is restricted to legally-defined time zones and is represented in HHMM
 * format.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * One exception to this rule would be a clinical system that processed patient data collected in a clinic and a nearby hospital
 * that happens to be in a different time zone. Such applications may choose to convert the data to a common
 * representation. Similar concerns apply to the transitions to and from daylight saving time. HL7 supports such requirements
 * by requiring that the time zone information be present when the information is sent. It does not, however, specify which of
 * the treatments discussed here will be applied by the receiving system.
