This has come up in a number of forums over the last few years, and I've seen (and participated in) a number of discussions about what to include and omit, and who should take responsibility for collecting the various threads together. We even went so far as to run up a straw man for one group where it seemed that there was a strong desire to follow any available standard if there was one (http://silmaril.ie/downloads/software/eml/) but there wasn't :-) That particular group did throw up a huge number of user requirements that surprised me: the things people want to do with date/time data are far more extensive than most of us can imagine. ///Peter -- Peter Flynn P +353 87 807 8172 SGML, XML, XSL Silmaril Consultants F +353 21 434 6029 Linux systems Cork, Ireland W http://www.silmaril.ie/ LaTeX typesetting
