The ISO standard that XML uses for representing "amounts of time" uses that syntax. The P signals that's a duration, and the T is just the ISO separator between date and time parts.

Instead of having to do math and compute seconds, you just say P1D to mean 1 day or PT1H to mean 1 hour. Much nicer and unambiguous.
