39 Some notes about specs
40 ----------------------
41
42 - ISO 8601-1 needs to be bought to see it. It is not free as in cost.
43
44 - RFC822 incorrectly defined military timezones. Mentioned in its succesor RFC2822:
45 " The 1 character military time zones were defined in a non-standard
46 way in [RFC822] and are therefore unpredictable in their meaning.
47 The original definitions of the military zones "A" through "I" are
48 equivalent to "+0100" through "+0900" respectively; "K", "L", and "M"
49 are equivalent to "+1000", "+1100", and "+1200" respectively; "N"
50 through "Y" are equivalent to "-0100" through "-1200" respectively;
51 and "Z" is equivalent to "+0000". However, because of the error in
52 [RFC822], they SHOULD all be considered equivalent to "-0000" unless
53 there is out-of-band information confirming their meaning."
54
55 sfeed does not support military timezones anymore. I haven't noticed any
56 feeds that use them (apart from Z) anyway.
57
58 - RFC822 only defines American timezone names (so "CEST" is not supported).
59
60 - RFC2822 defines leap seconds are allowed (23:59:60).
61
62 - Second fractions are allowed. sfeed truncates them.
63
64 - Timezones can be in the range: -9959 through +9959. sfeed allows -9999 through -9999.
65
66 - time_t is typically signed 64-bit on platforms. POSIX defines it simply as an
67 integer (not clear if signed or unsigned).
68
69 Many 32-bit platforms use a signed 32-bit long for time_t.
70 Open Watcom uses a 32-bit unsigned long for time_t.
71 "long long" is a datatype defines as at least 64-bit.
72 The sfeed parser consistently parses it to a signed 64-bit number (long long).
73
74 The format tools read this number and convert it to a time_t. Depending on
75 the platform and the time (mostly before 1970 or after 2038) this may
76 incorrectly wrap the number.
77
78 - There were/are many bugs in time parsing implementations in the different
79 libcs in various platforms sfeed has a parser for most of the formats used by
80 RSS/Atom/etc and handles timezone offsets.
