> Can you point to an overview of HyTime?
An overview of HyTime 2 (ISO/IEC 10744:1997) can be found at... damn.
I thought Eliot Kimber (one of the editors) had an overview, but all I
can find is fairly technical stuff.
From <URL:http://www.oreilly.com/people/staff/crism/hytime-sch.html>,
but note that this is *NOT* an overview, but the formal syntax of
HyTime 1 (ISO/IEC 10744:1992):
10.8.1.1 Date and Julian date
Date
<!element [168]date - O (#PCDATA)>
<!attlist date
[169]HyTime NAME date
[170]era (bc | bce | bp | ad | ce) #CURRENT
-- [171]common attributes -->
#CONTENT
Constraint: date is valid date in UTC year-month-day format,
except that "day" and "month-day" are also accepted. Year has 4
digits, month and day have two, with high-order zeros used to
maintain digit count.
Omitted components are those of previous specified [172]event in
this [173]schedule.
