[Apologies for cross-posting]
I'm trying to locate, or failing that establish, a sensible place to discuss
issues around date/time on the Internet. There seems to be consensus around
a movement towards some profile or quasi-profile of ISO 8601, but different
communities are taking different approaches and this may cause trouble later.
PICS appears to be using a quasi-profile of ISO 8601, by which I mean a
non-conforming profile. Note that I have no view either way on this, but am
stating it for the sake of clarity.
Chris Newman, in "Date and Time on the Internet" (draft-newman-datetime-01.txt)
is defining a conforming profile of ISO 8601.
If you can suggest an appropriate mailing list and provide joining instructions,
please do so.
