  • 1.  "date" for Office-2119

    Posted 09-25-2017 15:10
    Greetings, When "date" is used in the current proposal, does it mean: 1) XMLSchema2 dateTime: https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime or, should we use: 2) 19.341 number: calendar (ODF part 1) I ask because 19.341 defines a number of calendars, which if the chart is being used for display purposes, would be useful to a broader number of users than the XMLSchema2 definition. The downside is that many application won't know how to calculate dates using an alternative calendar, meaning the originating application needs to save the values it has calculated for the chart. Thoughts? Hope everyone is at the start of a great week!

    Hi Patrick, because of that problem, I have used "serial date as defined in section '4.3.3 Date' in part 2 of the specification" in my text. Kind regards Regina Patrick Durusau schrieb: Greetings, When "date" is used in the current proposal, does it mean: 1) XMLSchema2 dateTime: https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime or, should we use: 2) 19.341 number: calendar (ODF part 1) I ask because 19.341 defines a number of calendars, which if the chart is being used for display purposes, would be useful to a broader number of users than the XMLSchema2 definition.
