Last month I was adding types for dates in JSON. I have mixed feelings for adding types to metadata.
The "easy" types like integers and time/date just make it harder to code because of additional special cases (instead of essentiallt treatin all integers as network order uint32_t and leave the interpretation unspecified. Does anyone not now how to convert uglix time(2)? The "useful" types are tuples like EVRD and that isn't usually handled by types but rather "collections" of some sort. I chose to add yime/date types to --json largely because I'm bored. SHould types like time/data be used when available, thereby becoming "standard" and imposing a context of interpreteation? Or should what are essentially uglix stamps be left as integers to make it as easy to write parsers? I can tell which way you are headed from the check-in ... same direction I'm headed with --json. 73 de Jeff On May 12, 2011, at 2:36 AM, Anders F.
