There is a proposal for dates (and data typing in general) in the XML-Data proposal at the W3C site (sorry that I don't have a link handy). This is a proposal, not an approved recommendation from the W3C. One thing I notice in the example shown below is that the element contains the date twice, once in an easily-parsed form, once in what appears to be a display form. I would hope that the parsable form is all that is needed, with an application able to produce the appropriate display when needed. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Ricker [mailto:ricker@x...] Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 1998 7:44 AM To: xml-dev@i... Subject: Dates in XML What is the general consensus out there for specifying a DATE element? Has this group come agree on a "conventional" method? <!ELEMENT some-date-element (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST some-date-element TYPE CDATA #REQUIRED VALUE CDATA #REQUIRED > Using this element would look like: <some-date-element type="ISO 8601" value="19980708">July 8, 1998</some-date-value> Okay, guys and gals, pound away.
