Hi,
  =20
   But the vCal specs says, The date and time values for all vCalendar pr=
operties are formatted as a string consistent with the ISO 8601 represent=
ation for combinations of dates and times
  =20
  and according to ISO 8601,=20
  =20
  =20
  Combined Date/Time Formats  The symbol "T" is used to separate the date=
 and time parts of the combined representation. This may be omitted by mu=
tual consent of those interchanging data, if ambiguity can be avoided
 =20
Does it mean that an ideal decoder should be able to decode date and time=
 both with T as a seperator and without T as a seperator?
  =20
  Thanks And Regards,

    Hi,

    =20

      I have a very genuine doubt regarding vCal 1.0 date and time repres=
entation, is it mandatory to represent the character 'T' between date and=
 Time.

    =20

    DTSTART:20061212T080808

    =20

     Is the t as a seperator mandatory or optional?

    =20

    Thanks And Regards,
