Yeah, I'd like to know too. > 4) Wasn't this [the DateTime constructor croaking on bad dates] going > to be overridable?

This question doesn't make sense. Sets are explicitly not an ordered entity. You're thinking of lists, which a set can be turned into. > 8) Should DateTime::Set have a way to add an more explicit dates > without having to make a new set and union it in? You can do "$set->union($dt_object)". I suppose allowing multiple arguments would make sense too. > 9) Do we need a DateTime::Set clone method (ditto span, etc.)?

[I remember some discussion here, how did it turn out?] It's not a string right now, it's a number that stringifies in various ways. Returning an object might be better. > 13) How do I set a time zone on a set? (and span and spanset) You can't. That doesn't make sense. Set it on the objects you feed into it. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
