It does seem to me to be a little foolhardy for HTML5 to be defining its own format for representing dates and times. ISO 8601 is already widely understood and implemented. Out of the box it is capable of representing any instant[1] between 10000 BC and 9999 AD, including leap seconds and any other edge case you choose to think about. Why reinvent the wheel? ____ 1. Well, fractional seconds only to a finite number of decimal places, but let's not split hairs. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail at tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
