Description Lachlan Hunt 2008-12-10 09:17:31 UTC 
The definition for the date microsyntaxes specify months and days using the wrong range:

"Two digits, representing the month month, in the range 0 ≤ month ≤ 12"

"Two digits, representing day, in the range 0 ≤ day ≤ maxday where maxday is the number of days in the month month and year year"

Both those 0's should be changed to 1's.
Comment 1 Olivier Gendrin 2008-12-15 14:09:22 UTC 
Not if the 0 means 'unknown'. But that should be mentioned.
