@marqh, I am proposing only one idea from ISO8601, the mapping of zero and negative year numbers as you just showed. Year 0 = 1 BC, etc. I am not proposing a full adoption of an ISO8601 format. ISO8601 uses fixed length numbers, whereas the CF date/time stamp allows variable length numbers with delimiters. Also, CF does not use the **plus sign**.
The delimited system is robust and has served us well for a long time. The CF delimited system accommodates ISO8601 fixed width formats when the standard delimiters including the **"T"** separator are used. E.g., **YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS** is correct under both systems. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
