I think you're generalizing to some potentially non-existant superset of a population that may or may not read internet drafts. I'm really not sure that's relevant. A group in my organization (based in the uk no less) was just hosed by a windows api that represents months using their spelling and is therefore locale dependant, I'd rather prefer rfc-3339, somehow rather than worrying that the report for the month of февраль din't get generated. _______________________________________________ > Ietf mailing list [email protected] > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf > _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
