I am starting to get concerned that I might have wasted a lot of time while working on this, especially since I didn't get any feedback yet from the only ISO C committee member on this list.
I am on the joint ISO/ANSI C++ committee. It's a safe bet that the C++ committee will be considering time and time zone representations for future technical reports, amendments, or revisions to the C++ standard. To be considered for addition to existing standards, a proposal like this must be implemented and demonstrated to be useful in real programs. Posting a library interface with arguments in its favor is not sufficient. Instead, rewrite demonstrably useful programs to use your interface, and show improvements in clarity, correctness, safety, and/or efficiency. Nathan Myers ncm@cantrip.org http://www.cantrip.org/
