Had the Debian standard of "Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0700" been used, there would have been no ambiguity, now would there? Further, why do all that typing on a mailing list thread, when "2011-04-01" is, oh I don't know, _one_ _third_ the length, and still retains unambiguity? Heh. You can do things the short way or the long way. I'll take the short way. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
