--- Comment #11 from matteo sisti sette <[email protected]> --- > In comment #7 I gave two different entries for a date with a meaning.

I get your point but i think there is a simple, intuitive AND consistent answer: - use the ORDER of months, days, year, regardless of the separators and number of digits, of the display format (and of course, if the entered data only has a meaning if interpreted in a given way, use the one that has a meaning, but I think it already does that; except for a bug reported elsewhere where +1 is added to the year in some cases without a reason) > Quite possibly in your view the design should be changed. > In that case you should set the bug importance not to normal, but to > enhancement. I don't agree with that. If what I'm proposing is an enhancement to a design that could arguably be improved for a better user experience, then it is an enhancement. But if the design is plain wrong, then it is as much of a bug as "not working as designed", only that the bug is in the design rather than in the code implementing it. Of course it may be questioned whether the design is actually wrong. I'm saying it it. I hope someone from the specs teams (if there is one) reviews it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
