The problem here is that the date doesn't appear on every line. Analog
requires the date and time (or neither) on every line. If you have one but
not the other it should give you a helpful warning message -- doesn't it?
I know the date's in the header, but the problem is, what if the date
changes during the logfile? A well-behaved server would probably write
the new date, but the extended format draft standard doesn't say anything
about this. One could imagine a server assuming that you can deduce the
new date when the hour flips from 23 to 00.
I have a lot of trouble with extended format. The problem is that the spec
was never finished. There's only an early draft which is much too short.
