This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The description of parse-ietf-date() has a minor grammar error and a typo. The typo - parse-ietf-dateTime should read parse-ietf-date The grammar error input ::= S? dayname? ","? S ((datespec S time) | asctime) S? should (I think) be input ::= S? (dayname ","? S)? ((datespec S time) | asctime) S? (probably my mistake originally, sorry)
The WG agreed this should be fixed. As well as the changes indicated, I have taken the liberty of improving the suggestion in the non-normative note concerning how to generate an IETF date using format-dateTime. Rather than using [Z0] to format the timezone and then stripping the colon afterwards, the timezone can be generated in the correct format using [Z0000].
The changes have been applied.
