+[^3]: The `time` format represents a time value that is independent of any
+specific date, such as a scheduled time of day or a measured duration. Because
+there is no date, it is not well suited for capturing a moment in time. For
+that, you would need `date-time`. Because `time` isn't for capturing a moment in

 Implementations MAY support additional attributes using the other format names
 defined anywhere in that RFC. Implementations SHOULD NOT define extension
 attributes with any name matching an RFC 3339, RFC 9557, or ISO 8601 format
