Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "5.5.4.2.1".  In the spec
you linked to, clause 5 "Date and time format representations" doesn't
have any numbered subsections at all.  It's just a half-page saying,
basically, that if applications want to interchange information about
datetime formats, they can.  Much like the ents, spec authors don't
like to say anything unless it's worth taking a very long time to say.

So, to the best of my knowledge, there is no 5.5.4.2.1.  There is no 5.5.

Originally I assumed that when you wrote 5.5.4.2.1, you meant
4.4.4.2.1.  However, when I looked closer I noticed that this section
is about a textual "representation" of the format, not about the
format itself.  Therefore I suggested 4.4.3.2, which does specify the
format.

Cheers,
BJ
