So change it to e.g. either: 2011-11-25 or 2011-25-11 whichever is the case. 121197 1 mike 2015-06-17 15:03:14 +0000 The linked-to definitions of "A valid date string" etc. in the spec already make it quite clear that the format is YYYY-MM-DD. People need to read the spec text, not just the examples.
