Re: Commons Suggestion: XsDateTimeFormat

ISO 8601, the ever-lasting problem. :-) You know how many times I've
rewritten code for this, even in several languages? I don't want to
count. That said, +1 to such a package in XML commons (or Jakarta
Commons or Apache Commons). I'm sure that there are several
implementations all over Apache (Xalan and Xerces, for example). So it
might also take a little talking to them to avoid redundancies.
