Sorry, I misinterpreted what you wrote (“last standard that we’ll ever need” – the meaning of that and the rest of that paragraph did actually get swapped around in my head. ;) I did some research about different formats when working on some other calendar project this spring, and I arrived at the conclusion that all should switch to ISO 8601. But I feel that it’s more sane than not to drop the number of seconds from flo’s output, since it will always be 00. Alexander
