Yes, without a timezone offset. I have a bunch of these from my company's
Japanese customer. Also found one in a recent (March 2002) post on the
Bugtraq mailing list (I can't point you to the online archived copy because
the archive parses the dates and re-states them relative to one's own
timezone), and elsewhere.
Fair enough; I stand corrected (but I think at this stage in the lifetime
of the Internet, they're in the minority).
Again, I don't understand why you're making such a big deal of this. If I
find the functionality important and want to spend time implementing it once
we have a new working CVS repository, more power to me, no?
I have no objection to you or anyone implementing this functionality
(and I don't believe I ever said so). I am just explaining why I don't
think it's that important in the larger scheme of things. Obviously,
you and I don't agree on this one; that's fine. The original post
which triggered your reply was only me saying that I don't think the
timezone parsing was anything worth holding up the release on.
