            Values of this type are denoted as a sequence of numerical
            non-negative sub-identifier values. Each sub-identifier
            value MUST NOT exceed 2^32-1 (4294967295). Sub-identifiers
            are separated by single dots and without any intermediate
            white space.
            
            The ASN.1 standard restricts the value space of the first
            sub-identifier to 0, 1, or 2. Furthermore, the value space
            of the second sub-identifier is restricted to the range
            0 to 39 if the first sub-identifier is 0 or 1. Finally,
            the ASN.1 standard requires that an object identifier
            has always at least two sub-identifier. The pattern
            captures these restrictions.
            
            Although the number of sub-identifiers is not limited,

            standard for representation of dates and times using the
            Gregorian calendar. The profile is defined by the
            date-time production in section 5.6 of RFC 3339.
            
            The date-and-time type is compatible with the dateTime XML
            schema type with the following notable exceptions:
            
            (a) The date-and-time type does not allow negative years.
            
            (b) The date-and-time time-offset -00:00 indicates an unknown
                time zone (see RFC 3339) while -00:00 and +00:00 and Z all
                represent the same time zone in dateTime.
            
            (c) The canonical format (see below) of data-and-time values
                differs from the canonical format used by the dateTime XML
                schema type, which requires all times to be in UTC using the
                time-offset 'Z'.
            
            This type is not equivalent to the DateAndTime textual
            convention of the SMIv2 since RFC 3339 uses a different
            separator between full-date and full-time and provides
            higher resolution of time-secfrac.
            
            The canonical format for date-and-time values with a known time
            zone uses a numeric time zone offset that is calculated using
            the device's configured known offset to UTC time. A change of
            the device's offset to UTC time will cause date-and-time values
            to change accordingly.  Such changes might happen periodically
            in case a server follows automatically daylight saving time
            (DST) time zone offset changes. The canonical format for
            date-and-time values with an unknown time zone (usually refering
            to the notion of local time) uses the time-offset -00:00.";
