That's a good question. Had a look at the docbook documentation on http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/date.html and it says there's no expected format for the date. So i guess this may have been a self-imposed version so that people knew what to translate from. I looked in svn but the commit that introduced that sentence doesn't say anything about it and Nicolas doesn't seem to be around anymore to answer the question. So i guess we should decide ourselves, do we want to enforce that or not? Cheers, Albert P.S: CC'ed the kde-doc-enlgish ml > > Cheers
