Hmmm... I would be inclined to separate basic calendrical calulations from timezones (as opposed to timezone offsets). Prior to RFC3339, work in this area was bogged down in the comlexities of timezones... it was by separating them that we were able to come to consensus on the basics required for timestamping. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
