IMHO this helps prevent confusion.
As noted in the original GLEP 42 discussion, I strongly feel we should use an ISO-8601 compliant date string representation as this is both a) international, b) easy to read and c) machine parsable. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 or date(1) for more information. Regards, Brix -- Henrik Brix Andersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Metadistribution | Mobile computing herd
