Ha! Is that really not in the spec for Atom/RSS/RDF?
- mjibson 13y agoI believe it is in the spec, but just not followed.
- drivebyacct2 13y agoBut of course. Who approaches a problem like "I need to serialize dates into this standardized document format" and decides to go with "Let's concat strings in our own format" instead of going with "Let's check the spec and use someDateLibrary.dateToString('that fmt string')? (Or better, something like Go's time API, but that's beside the point)
