Re: A structured format for dates?

Based on discussion at 114, I've updated the PR. See:
  https://httpwg.org/http-extensions/mnot/2162/draft-ietf-httpbis-retrofit.html#name-the-date-structured-type

Thoughts? 

Also, I see that Martin is wondering whether this should be a separate document. Any opinions there? It's very short...

Cheers,
