However, questions like this have come up before. Some people would also want MM/DD/YYYY, and you can't tell which is which. The WG chose originally not to support the other formats such as the one you'd like, because it leads to incompatability between processors. I believe your best bet is a pre-/post-processor that intercepts date lexical representations and converts them from/to the local format you desire. -- Dave Peterson SGMLWorks! davep@iit.edu
