Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2343) 3.3.3 Date andDateTime - 1900 as leap year
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2343?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18224#action_18224 ] Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-2343: ----------------------------------------- The current text in my working draft: Note: Using expressions that assume serial numbers are based on a particular epoch may cause interoperability issues. Evaluators shall support positive serial numbers. Evaluators may support negative serial numbers to represent dates before an epoch. Note: It is implementation specific if the year 1900 is treated as a leap year. Note: Evaluators that treat 1900 as a non-leap year can use the epoch date 1899-12-30 to compensate for serial numbers that originate from evaluators that treat 1900 as a leap year and use 1899-12-31 as an epoch date. I am not sure if the differences between that language and the proposed language requires any changes or can we close this issue? > 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 > Assignee: Michael Brauer > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: ODF 1.2 Part 2 CD 2 > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
