start The start attribute specifies the beginning of a time range. Its value is a date/time stamp in the form "YYYYMMDDhhmm".

Supporting Tags The start attribute is supported by the <time> tag. The default value of the start attribute depends on the context in which it is used. Currently, the <time> tag is only supported within a <graph>, and the default value for the start attribute is 24 hours prior to the current time, as determined by the system clock.

Examples <graph> <time start="199902010000" end="199902012345"/> </graph> <graph> <time start="199407071100" end="199407071700"/> </graph>

Notes The time specified in the start attribute should never be later than the time specified in the corresponding end attribute. Future versions of WxML may introduce new mechanisms for specifying the starting and ending time for a graph.
