One data point, and not suggesting this is the best way to go. TeraGrid information services has standardized on the ISO 8601 compliant format of "CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ" which represent GMT time. The motivation was to be able to compare dates directly without having to convert them. Regards, JP On Nov 20, 2007, at 8:57 AM, Balazs Konya wrote:
xsd:dateTime is a "profile" of the ISO 8601, in the sense that it selects the particular [-]CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[Z|(+|-)hh:mm] "extended format" of the large number of date/time formats defined by the ISO 8601 standard. It also excludes the "basic format".
