[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|NOTABUG |--- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED --- Comment #7 from [email protected] --- I'm not sure I'd call the international standard for dates "arbitrary" in a bug report about dates. Especially as you yourself said: > there is a definition that is used in the industry Yes, and it's ISO8601; certainly that's what I use in all the software I write. The bug therefore is in the ODF standard. > It means that your second argument about false precision is wrong premise, > too. Nothing personal, but you don't seem to understand the concept of false precision. It's a very real problem and one that the date behaviour of ODF is going to exacerbate. I've seen countless occasions where some arbitrary value has been used for "no data" (the -01 day in this case), only to have that value then used as part of the calculation by someone else who didn't know it was a "no data" value. You may wish to read this: https://aucerna.com/blog/logical-fallacy-how-false-precision-affects-business-planning/ By forcing an arbitrary precision ODF is definitely going to be creating problems for its users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
