I posed two questions to Adobe's PDF Architects (and editors of ISO/IEC32000): (1) is it legal to use +00'00 as an alternative for Z (even though it is not "later than UT")? (2) is it legal to use Z00'00 as an alternative for Z (this doesn't seem to be disallowed, though might infer that Z00'01 would be illegal)? Their initial response is as follows: <quote> The specification is intended to be read quite literally. It says that + is used for later (not equal) and – is used for earlier (not equal) and Z is used for equal. Although it only implies it, the Z is not intended to have digits following it. Answer to (1) No. Answer to (2) No, but not so clear in the specification. </quote> This indicates that, despite the intent of this bug report, it would be inadvisable to make the proposed change. I would suggest that the automatic tests you refer to be changed instead in order to account for the difference. If I receive some new information that suggest this bug be re-opened, I will do so; however, in the mean time, I am moving to resolved+wontfix. Thanks rmeyer for proposing the suggested change, even though we will not at present commit it. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
