If someone was born on 2004-02-29 when is their first birthday? You might say 2005-03-01 or 2005-02-28. Does that mean that they have the same birthday as...
But certain combinations using duration DO result in invalid start or end times. Do we just not speak of them (you aren't allowed to use "duration" in those...
For the birthday on 29 February, I (personally) probably would celebrate it on 1 March on non-leap years if I had such a birthday, because 28 February on any...
But the presence of leap seconds means that not even days, hours, and minutes are fixed time units, so the portion of the standard you quoted is in error....
This is what makes this subject so interesting. It may also be why ISO8601 only defines the formats, but doesn't define what the data _means_. It is up to the...
The "alternative" representation is intended to impose range limits on the values. E.g. you shouldn't put a number larger than 24 in the hour field....
Although we now use a strict ordinal counting of the days of the month, originally the extra day was added to the 24th day of February, i.e. the 24th was...
... If that someone is Chinese, (I think) they are considered to be already one year old since counting of birthdays considers the starting point to be the...
There's a +1300 (+1200 in DST) too. ;-) That timezone problem could be solved by converting both times to UTC. About Chinese (?; I thought Korean was like...

Adam, converting to UTC wouldn't solve the problem since most people would not accept that the day they are born is defined in UTC. Would you move midnite...
¡Hello! ¿How Fare You? I read Encyclopedia WikiPedia.Org that figures should use the ‒figure‒dash‒: HTTP://WikiPedia.Org/wiki/Dash ¿Which is correct?:...
Section 4.5 of the (2000 draft) standard is quite clear that the hyphen is to be used. It is an ASCII character (also part of the IEC character standard...

... I suggest to use a basic subset of Unicode, US-ASCII, because otherwise the ratio between benefit and problems is too low. Maybe in ten years, when all...
Ŭalabio and others, I'll try not to start a flame war, but I've got a few other problems with some of the messages on this list. :-) I don't mind if some...
2005-02-17T10:13:08 GMT/UTC, "Lyngmo Ted" ... I totally agree. Weird Al Yankovic said it best when it comes to posting "¡Me Too!" like a brain-dead AOLer: ...
Ŭalabio wrote with a strange quotation ... I disagree to this kind of discussion, because you inserted a strange quotation to debase someone. If that was not...
To the best of my knowledge, no one gave an answer. I want the month-end date of this month or next month. I do know how to get this using ISO-8601 notation. ...

I don't think ISO 8601 was made to give numbers of (work) days in a month or give information out. I believe ISO 8601 is made solely for the textual...

... I believe that is only a period of one or two months with no start or end date included. Appending the D0 does not add any information, and is redundant....
Do others think ISO-8601 should provide notation for: Last day Next day First day nice for weeks (first Sunday in a month would be nice) The last day...
