Ben,

Thanks. I forgot to look at the cardinality of the temporalCoverage type.
That is helpful to know.

"coverage" element allows an unbounded number of "temporalCoverage"
elements which in turn include a "rangeOfDates" element. So using multiple
"temporalCoverage" elements would let you model date ranges with gaps. See:
http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.1.0/eml-coverage.html#Coverage(though
it isn't very explicit about the allowed cardinality).

this?
