I think we all agree on having Time as an Integer or similar representing time with some particular resolution. The question seems to be how to deal with CalendarTime, defined as a record with fields for the various components found in a human-type time stamp.

Just for the record, my silence is not consent on this. I believe I'm in a minority and don't challenge the majority decision, but I would prefer a date/time representation based on a pair (days,ticks), where ticks is a count of some suitable fraction of a second. My reasons have been recorded here previously ... I'll dig out a reference if anyone cares. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
