FYI, i have set up a github repository to hold drafts of i18n Activity articles at https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts/ In addition, the feedback links on the article pages have been changed to point to the issues list of that repository (which will hopefully fix a number of ongoing problems we experienced with the previous setup). We have already received one comment, at https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts/issues/5 Since i don't have any notifications set up yet, i'm notifying manually. **Please don't reply to this message about that issue - reply in the github issue.** Here's the original text of the comment: "YYYY-0MM-DD format would present a date in a way that most could clearly interpret in their country. Using the four digit year, three digit month (zero-filled) and a two digit day has many benefits. That way 1973-004-03 , 004-03-1973 and 03-004-1973 are clearly April 3, 1973 and not March 4, 1973 - in most cultures. This would avoid frustrations and reprocessing time to correct mistakes. More importantly in international research, development, medical records and other business that cross international boundaries; critical errors and misunderstandings would be reduced. Thoughts?" the comment was raised about the text at http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-date-format ri
