The choice is somewhat arbitrary, but I'd go with the latter, so that you can do things like store your timezone-free dateTimes in XML databases that treat dateTimes differently from strings. The pattern you want is -?\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\dT\d\d:\d\d:\d\d:(\.\d+)? -- What has four pairs of pants, lives John Cowan in Philadelphia, and it never rains http://www.ccil.org/~cowan but it pours? cowan@ccil.org --Rufus T.
