Hi,

We may need to tighten this up; by calling out ISO, folks may incorrectly assume various features that are by design not reflected in the API.

Either we need to say what aspects of 8601 and version the API conforms to and /or list the variances.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8007392/ http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8007392/javadoc I don't think you mention that the reference to ISO 8601 actually refers to ISO 8601:1988 with Technical Corrigendum 1 applied. That would be ISO 8601:1988/Cor.1:1991 (E). The original standard numbered hours from 1 to 24 and minutes and seconds from 1 to 60, although it is somewhat self-contradictory in this area. Just to note that the latest ISO-8601 is the 2004 version. Question is whether specifying a particular version is overly limiting on the specification (and we have never slavishly followed every last detail of the spec anyway). Stephen
