ISO 8601 retitled #2575

Open martindholmes opened 3 months ago

martindholmes commented 3 months ago

Kazuhiro Okada points out that the title of ISO 8601 changed with the 2019 release; it's now called "Date and time — Representations for information interchange". I was thinking this would be a quick fix, but we explicitly reference ISO 8601:2004 throughout the Guidelines, so at the very least we would need to:

  1. Decide whether we want to update all our references to 2019; if so
  2. Check that all our quotes, assertions, and encoding structures based on :2004 still work in :2019; if so
  3. Update all section references etc.

Unless the reference is specifically to ISO 8601:2019, please do not. (We currently do not support 8601:2019, but only 8601:2004, so should name the one we do support. In truth, though, our “support” is so lame, it probably does not matter.)

As a matter of fact, it would even be better to point to the two parts now: https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html

Personally, I would prefer to stick with the original plan, although I understand if other folks get too frustrated and just want to update bits right now. The current plan is essentially to overhaul teidata.temporal.iso so that it documents and to some extent supports use of 8601:2019. (Whenever i say that, @laurentromary, I mean both parts 1 & 2.) I am expecting that re-write to be based on Dates and Times in DH: An annotated application profile of ISO 8601:2019 for use with TEI and other DH systems, which is about ⅓ done, but is likely to take another year for me to finish, given how slow I have been going.
