yes, my propoasal for date would have been easiest for regexp
(.*)(..)(..)
$year = $1; $month = $2; $day = $3;

Using dashes would work too...
($year, $month, $day) = split("-", "yyyyy?-mm-dd");
and you can still allow for any-length year.

Dave beat me to the punch on the encoding. pass encoding (I still think it'd
work better as a tag rather than an attribute?). And then leave it up to the
client as to whether or not it cares about/can handle it. As long it gets
passed along in an 8-bit format, right?

The state of having nothing to do is wasted on those who can afford to.
