New Revision: 194231
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/194231
Log:
Undo the change in r193688 as suggested in conf/72076.
People on IRC and the -doc mailinglist (June 2009) showed that this
new format wasn't used or known widely enough to justify the change.
grml; it is but people have been ignorant for ages now, still using DIN 1355;
not sure we want to encourage this anymore:(
What follows is from the top of my head:
ISO8601 - from 198x[x=8|9]/1991
EN28601 - from 1992
DIN5008 - from 2001
In contrast to that DIN1355 imho was fomm 194x, changed at least 1975
and I think they did something mid-90s after EN28601 was out.
Imho since 2005 or 2006 ISO8601 is authoritative.
