Hi folks, I have written a draft that would like to grow up into a specification of the profle of ISO-8601 which removes punctuation for dates, giving things like 20060103 or (ergh!) 79. The primary purpose is to document that format for use in Dublin Core, since there is existing data which uses it, and saying something is ISO-8601-conformant is not much stricter than saying it uses ASCII characters to record a date... It's a bit tangential to the general work here, but might be of interest. Among other things I suggest using an RDF datatype, even though it is not clear how to define an automagcally processable one yet, where dates are used in RDF. It's at http://people.opera.com/charlesm/2006/shortdate/ - dated 30 December, and I plan to publish a new draft about 15 jan with at least spelling mistakes and the unfinished example fixed, a clarification of what is normative or not, and similar editorial changes. Other suggestions for editorial or substnative changes are welcome... cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile chaals@opera.com hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk Peek into the kitchen: http://snapshot.opera.com/
