The proposal in my last post [1] on this topic, referring to the numerous calenders in use around the world, is definately out of the scope of XHTML. However, a simple datetime element, that contains a datetime attribute which accepts an ISO 8601 format date would be within the scope. Thanks to some of the previous replies, especially Ernest Cline's [2], I now realise how useful the ISO format is, and how unnecessary it would be to complicate this issue by attempting to represent a countless number of world wide calenders in XML. >2.
