The
xdp
element encloses zero or more occurrences of XFA components, each represented as an XDP
packet, that is described in
“XDP Packets” on page 789.
Because the XDP format itself is comprised only of
the
xdp
element, the functionality and behavior imparted by an XDP is wholly derived from the packets
within the XDP document. It is the packets within the
xdp
element that is of real significance, not the
xdp
element itself.
xmlns:xdp
See “XDP Namespace” on page 788.
uuid
A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), which is assigned by the template designing application and is
retained by all applications that subsequently serialize (write-out) the template. The template designing
application uses a product-specific algorithm to create the
uuid
value.
See “Tracking and Controlling
Templates Through Unique Identifiers” on page 401..
The
uuid
attribute inherits the namespace of its container, which in this case is
xdp
.
If the XDP omits a template, the
uuid
attribute is meaningless.
timeStamp
A date-time value that follows the ISO8601 convention:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS z
. The value of
timeStamp specifies when the XFA template was last modified, as described in
“Tracking and Controlling
Templates Through Unique Identifiers” on page 401.

The capital letter "T" separates the date and time
"z" represents the time zone designator (Z or +hh:mm or -hh:mm) - following UTC or using local time.
For example: 1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00 corresponds to November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US Eastern
Standard Time. Extending this example, 1994-11-05T13:15:30Z corresponds to the same instant.
The
timeStamp
attribute inherits the namespace of its container, which in this case is
xdp
.
If the XDP omits a template, the
timeStamp
attribute is meaningless.
