Well, it'd need to cover dates, times with time zones, date times with time zones, times without time zones, date times without time zones. Seems better pegged

- emodendroket 11y agoSo? It's not like this is a complex problem nobody knows how to solve.
- duaneb 11y agoAgreed! But it's not so simple to just add a "date" type; it would add significant complexity to a relatively simple text format.
- emodendroket 11y agoYeah, I guess, but everyone ends up implementing it anyway; the problem is they all do it in an idiosyncratic way (and one that is ambiguous... after all, maybe I really wanted that to be a string).
