3.3.3 Date and DateTime - 1900 as leap year 
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFFICE-2343
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2343
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OpenFormula
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 Part 2 CD 1
            Reporter: Patrick Durusau


Currently we say:

***
Many applications cannot handle Date values before January 1, 1900. Some applications can handle dates for the years 1900 and on, but include a known defect: they incorrectly presume that 1900 was a leap year (1900 was not a leap year). Applications may reproduce the 1900-as-leap-year bug for compatibility purposes, but should not. 
***

Rob Weir suggests that we should not make editorial comments about bugs, compatibility, etc. I think that is a good point.
