Yes, but if we describe it as "XPath 2.0 accepts understands dates in a
system format" then we run less risk of the moans.

Basically I'm trying to say that I think there is a reasonably
implementable spec that is worth doing, moans and all. Do you think it
would be worth doing this subset or that only something with full
localisation should be done? Or that full localisation is impossible,
and we shouldn't attempt it all?
