NO int strftime(char*, int, char*, struct tm*) NO int strfastime(char*, int, char*, struct tm*) NO time_t mktime(struct tm*)
strftime, strfastime, and mktime should not be standardized due to lack of existing art.
As I stated in by response to Bob, the instead of strftime() and mktime(), we could use nl_ascxtime() and gmtime2() which are in current X/OPEN systems. (Gmtime2() is a static routine and does not account for local time but but is still "existing" art. I have been tempted to post it, but I reverse engineered it directly from the AT&T gmtime() code.)
