Ciao Comedix,

I'd say it's best to use the iso8601 date format, like this:
<xml>
  <data date-time-format="iso8601">
     <event start="-0078-08-02"
         title="The title"
         >
         Text
      </event>
  ...

Note that 79BC is noted as -0078 in iso8601 according to [1]. There are
other parsers available, but I've never used them, maybe someone else
from the list can help. See [2] for a usage example of the gregorian parser.

Best,
Jonas
