that might be smart,
there _are_ standard date formats...sigh, date formats are always at least a little bit of trouble---
I figured plist would adopt standard unix style date or at least nsdate would read it easily enough, so I still think I'm missing something...
the binary plist sounds like a better, more compact transport encoding if I know I have an iphone on the other end.
does one simply use an NSData rep instead of NSString?
