My guess is the only uptake for such a feature would be from people who were aware enough of the issue to code dates in an unambiguous way, e.g. the ISO format, in the first place. > my error.

That can be done with only lang= markup, although again, there is probably a strong correlation between poor use of this and use of ambiguous dates. Microsoft Word attempts to recognize dates, even when only partially entered (for auto-completion) so the technology to do this unhinted certainly exists.Received on Friday, 16 May 2003 01:59:42 GMT
