Yes I agree. But today dup timestamp>ymd ymd>timestamp time- duration>hours . in Germany in Summer prints -2 meaning that timestamp>ymd and ymd>timestamp do not understand each other.
My explanation is that timestamp>ymd should not ignore the timezone information. It should evaluate the timestamp completely and produce a string with the date in Greenwich. I think this would be better because you wrote "We were trying to preserve timezone information as much as possible, so for example as you convert a YMD to a timestamp, it assumes GMT." > I think timestamp>ymd just ignores the timezone information, and > should produce the same output (in fact I think implemented the exact > same way) as your timestamp>YMD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
