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=18266#action_18266 ] 

David Wheeler  commented on OFFICE-2343:
----------------------------------------

In "Note: It is implementation specific if the year 1900 is treated as a leap year.",
shouldn't "implementation specific" be "implementation-defined"?!?

> 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.
