I don't suppose there is any desire to embed the Olson / now IANA information, ala JRE, into engines rather than relying on the OS? In my Spidermonkey embedding case, I removed all engine interaction with the OS as far as this is concerned (prmjtime) and have a standalone, portable IANA tzdata implementation that sits alongside the engine. It is the only way I could guarantee rock solid JS Date DST information across 4 different OSes (and different patch levels of those OSes) in a situation where I control the app, but not the OS. The browser world is a different story, but I could see the usefulness in having the default be use of internal engine IANA data (automatic browser updates take care of you) with an option to fall back on OS provided facilities if the browser has automatic updates disabled. -Andrew _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
