One of the goals for the current revision is to create a separate specification that answers a clear and present requirement from other parts concerning which there is less clear consensus. Specifically, this draft aims to move forward the timestamp elements of Chris' original work, while allowing the trickier "schedule events" elements to be picked up and developed by a group with more specific relevant expertise and goals, if required. #g -- A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Instant Messaging and Presence Protocol Working Group of the IETF. Title : Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps Author(s) : C. Newman, G. Klyne Filename : draft-ietf-impp-datetime-00.txt Pages : 16 Date : 03-Apr-01 This document defines a date and time format for use in Internet protocols that is a profile of the ISO 8601 [ISO8601] standard for representation of dates and times using the Gregorian calendar.

But this document still references the old first edition! The one that counted accidentally minutes from 01 to 60 and similar nonsense, along with lots of ambiguities: [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 http://www.iso.ch/cate/d26780.html Markus -- Markus G.

Perhaps ISO could be persuaded to make this available freely online, given that the old edition is on www.iso.ch and various other standards are available on http://isotc.iso.ch/livelink/livelink/fetch/2000/2489/Ittf_Home/PubliclyAvai... -- Joseph S. Myers jsm28@cam.ac.uk
