IMHO, natural-language (English, French, or whatever) descriptions are generally preferred to formal ones, as they are intelligible to more people and generally "live" longer. A document that says The MagicDate format is as follows: yyyywwd, where yyyy is a zero-padded Gregorian year number, ww is a 2-digit week, and d is the day of the week. Week 01 of a year is the week containing January 4. Day 0 is Sunday, day 6 is Saturday. does very nicely. Then you make it retrievable at http://your.domain/defs/MagicDate.txt and then declare the notation in your DTDs as <!NOTATION MagicDate SYSTEM "http://your.domain/defs/MagicDate.txt"> -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
