Given that my office already purchased ISO 8601:1988 a few years ago, I certainly couldn't justify the cost of purchasing a revision in current tight economic times. If there's a public list of errata (or a free revision available to people who purchased the previous version), I'd be glad to vet the spec against that. Or perhaps if Graham feels like purchasing a copy and vetting the ABNF he could. Otherwise I believe we should keep the reference to the older version since that's what this spec is based on. - Chris --On Monday, April 9, 2001 18:22 +0100 Markus Kuhn <Markus.Kuhn@cl.cam.ac.uk> wrote:

[ISO8601] "Data elements and interchange formats -- Information interchange -- Representation of dates and times", ISO 8601:1988(E), International Organization for Standardization, June, 1988.
The new second edition with lots of bug fixes, ISO 8601:2000, has been available since December and can be ordered online from
