&gt; &gt; [a number of good points snipped...]
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Since SGML is supposed to help authors follow a strict grammar, why not
&gt; &gt; use it to the fullest here? How about something like this:
&gt; &gt; &lt;date&gt;
&gt; &gt; &lt;year&gt;2000&lt;/year&gt;
&gt; &gt; &lt;month&gt;12&lt;/month&gt;
&gt; &gt; &lt;date&gt;11&lt;/date&gt;
&gt; &gt; &lt;/date&gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; [..]
&gt; &gt; If you are used to SGML the added verbosity should not be a problem.
&gt; &gt; This then also simplifies date reformatting into style used in other
&gt; &gt; countries.
&gt; &gt;
&gt;
&gt; I've been lurking only because there hasn't been any really good ideas yet.
&gt;
&gt; Till now.
&gt;
&gt; I like this.
I like it too, but I can't see it happening. Anybody that wants to
petition for it in db is welcome to try, I suppose, but in the
meanwhile, can we start using YYYY-MM-DD?
