I have two comments: 1. I've used Harald Alvestrand's abfn-parser to check the two grammars (the main one, and the one in Appendix A). The second one uses the token `date-time' which is only defined in the other grammer. I guess, this should be fixed. 2. I don't like to read things like this in a standards track document (Appendix A): This information is based on the 1988 version of ISO 8601. There may be some changes in the 2000 revision. [...] This is informational only and may contain errors. I understand, that this Appendix is just informational. However, under the mentioned conditions, I wonder what the purpose of this Appendix is. To avoid people refering to it, I would suggest to simply remove it. But I would prefer to see the Appendix keep part of the document and ensured that the contents are correct and up to date, before it enters the standards track. -frank
