Hi Ryan,
There’s some discussion of parsing at
https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/issues/342 ( for Dates ) and
https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/issues/1 ( for Numbers - yes, issue #1 ).
One clear direction from the beginning (and painful experience) is to have
formatting and parsing separate. Also, see the arguments against some uses of
parsing that are better off as a date-picker.
Regards,
