Subject:    [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] glep-0074: Reference RFC 3339 instead of ISO 8601
From:       Michał Górny <mgorny () gentoo ! org>

[Download RAW message or body]

Reference the open RFC 3339 standard instead of ISO 8601.  Firstly,
because closed standards are not something people can easily look into.
Secondly, because we only need a very small subset of what ISO 8601
defines and RFC 3339 provides exactly that.
