#[tantek]There's also the yearless date, e.g. many birthdays or holidays/anniversaries are entered with just the month and the day, which in ISO8601 is something like --03-17
#[tantek]I'd lean towards keeping Z bc it's such a common use case and likely worth the brevity vs slightly more consuming code trade-off, though I’m sympathetic to that too
#jkingwebYearless date is not something currently accepted by VCP parsing, though, unless I'm grossly misreading.
#sknebelvcp supports less formats, yes. but the change should not break any of the otherwise possible formats (e.g. whats in HTML spec as datetime values)
#sknebelI think the framing should be something like "if temporary value matches the following pattern, normalize it as follows: <> if this other pattern, as follows: <> otherwise, pass through unchanged"
#sknebelwhich then cleanly leaves everything not specifically handled alone
#sknebelI dont think there are cases where there is a risk of confusing formats, luckily
#[tantek]Indeed I don't think we have seen any use cases for vcp for yearless dates so therefore we haven't designed any
#[tantek]vcp also predates the time and data elements so it's likely we can provide better authoring guidance
