A.D.) begins in year 1. 2) Whilst it is unlikely that the LDP would need it, it is possible that people using DocBook might wish to refer to dates Before the Common Era (B.C.E. a.k.a. B.C.). So I suggest the valid value for the year be any non-zero interger (negative values to be treated as B.C.E. dates). -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire
