I'm not arguing that the RFC822 date format is sensible and good.
nor, really, am I. but if we're going to change it, we should change
it to something that will actually interoperate better - not just
something which will produce a different set of interoperability
problems.
Can't disagree with that. And I think the way to accomplish this is to
have a rule that given a date/time/timezone, there must be only a
single valid representation of that time in the format we end up
selecting.
I don't disagree that this is a good idea. But if you look at the
kinds of malformed dates that are out there, most are not malformed
because the programmer tried to use some legal variant of the date
syntax and failed to get it right - they're malformed because the
programmer failed to even try to get it right.
