Yeah, I originally had it as eventDate, but then switched to eventTime. If Date can include time (and Time is assumed not to include date), then using eventDate is fine.
I would recommend using eventTime for a date + time-of-day. "Time" is more general than "date." This is the usage in the Ruby world.
