This gets back to my previous e-mail, about whether the issue is that a stanard should prevent implementations from breaking, or just not prevent them from doing the right thing. Also, to the question of whether Y2K compliance means a very narrow thing around the year 2000 rollover date, or a broader thing about not haveing arbitrary restrictions on dates. --Ted
