Wondering how the date vs datetime distinction, and other distinctions
regarding time, play out in Factor with HTML5.

I also realize now that this "date" vs "datetime" distinction was
what Jon was suggesting, whereas I thought he was talking about
"have one version normalize to local time, have the other
normalize to GMT" (like Date.current & Date.today in Rails).
Yes, that's indeed what I meant. Not sure if another tuple would be
clearer, or if a strongly documented convention is enough..
Fair enough. I think changing timezones is less of a deal-breaker
than `ymd>timestamp` & `timestamp>ymd` not being inverses of each
other (without intervening GMT conversion), though.
Well, changing `ymd>timestamp` to assume a locale timezone makes them
inverse only if the orginal timestamp was in the local timezone (ie
breaks for GMT timestamp or any other timezone). The advantage would
be that most of the other words in the vocab return timestamps in the
local timezone so it would work most of the time.
I guess a solution to both problems could be just having more
robust parsing that could translate strings with GMT offsets. Many
RFCs abound with date formats.
We have `timestamp>rfc3339` and `rfc3339>timestamp` which support
timezones. The strings look like "2014-09-05T01:00:00+02:00"
Cheers,
Jon
