The fault here is with Emacs or (on older Emacs) xml-rpc.el. I'm sure you're aware that Emacs does not have good localization (l10n) and internationalization (i18n) support. xml-rpc.el uses an Emacs function to parse the date string. Currently timezone-parse-date (the function at fault here) understands the following formats: (1) 14 Apr 89 03:20[:12] [GMT] (2) Fri, 17 Mar 89 4:01[:33] [GMT] (3) Mon Jan 16 16:12[:37] [GMT] 1989 (4) 6 May 1992 1641-JST (Wednesday) (5) 22-AUG-1993 10:59:12.82 (6) Thu, 11 Apr 16:17:12 91 [MET] (7) Mon, 6 Jul 16:47:20 T 1992 [MET] (8) 1996-06-24 21:13:12 [GMT] (9) 1996-06-24 21:13-ZONE (10) 19960624T211312 It looks like it wouldn't be too hard to add support for the format. But I need better documentation for it. Do you know the name of the date format or where the format is described? What software does your weblog use? If you don't know, maybe you can give me the URL? Finally, it may help if you subscribe to the emacsweblogs mailing list http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsweblogs Other users are there and discussion like this is something that others might benefit from.
