I don't consider SRFI 19 to have a very good API, and I'm working on a pre-SRFI for dates and times. There is an outline of it (very subject to change) at < https://bitbucket.org/cowan/r7rs-wg1-infra/src/default/TimeAdvancedCowan.md>. Note that it does not do localization except for timezones, however, so is probably not directly relevant. I'd appreciate review comments at co...@ccil.org anyway. Thanks. John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org Is a chair finely made tragic or comic? Is the portrait of Mona Lisa good if I desire to see it? Is the bust of Sir Philip Crampton lyrical, epical or dramatic? If a man hacking in fury at a block of wood make there an image of a cow, is that image a work of art? If not, why not? --Stephen Dedalus
