ISO 8601 dates are hell to implement! First of all, the standard is
extremely flexible, and this has its price. And second and more
important, ISO 8601 dates are actually not dates, but time intervals.
This makes it really hard to work with... Oh, and did I mentioned the
time zones? ;-)
Uhm, the standard describes how to express instants in time as well.
They're kind of the foundation for describing time intervals. Or did I
miss something? (I haven't actually read the standard, so I'm relying
on a document written by Gary Houston in January 1993, which refers to
the ISO 8601:1988 standard).
Confusedly,
Malte
PS. Apparently I can't distinguish 01 from 10, something that became
embarrassingly obvious in my reply to Mark Meyer. :-)
